Chattahoochee Hills planners recommended conditional setback relief for country inn or farm stay

Chattahoochee Hills Planning Commission voted 3–2 on June 11, 2026, to recommend conditional approval of a request to reduce country inn or farm stay setbacks from 200 feet to 100 feet in the Rural district. Variance 26V-002 names Mark HaLi and Alicia Price as applicants. Laurie Searle and Will Duncan opposed the recommendation.

Staff said the site plan extends into the 200-foot setback on its northern side. Rather than a blanket 100-foot setback across the northern boundary, staff discussed drawing a line around the affected buildings and returning to the 200-foot line elsewhere, or tying the relief directly to buildings shown in the plan.

The approved minutes record a conditional recommendation, not final variance approval, and do not spell out definitive conditions. This account describes the June recommendation; any later decision is not established by the supplied record.
