The board will meet at 6 p.m. at the county Administrative Building at 1130 Bluffs Parkway in Canton. A work session will begin at 3 p.m.
The board has talked about amending the ordinance to allow smaller lots in conservation subdivisions, which permit developers to build smaller lots in exchange for leaving a percentage of the land as greenspace.
The current ordinance allows all lots to be half the district minimum size. For example, a lot in an R-40 single-family residential conservation subdivision currently can be as small as 20,000 square feet (a regular R-40 subdivision has 40,000-square-foot lots).
The latest proposed revisions, which can be viewed at www.cherokeega.com, would allow as much as 20 percent of the total lots in agricultural and R-80 single-family through R-30 single-family residential and 10 percent of the lots in R-20 and R-15 single-family residential, be platted at 25 percent of the standard district lot size. The average lot size of all the lots shall be at least 35,000-square-feet in agricultural, 32,000-square feet in R-80, 24,000-square feet in R-60, 16,000-square-feet in R-40, 12,000-square-feet in R-30, 10,000-square-feet in R-20 and 7,500-square-feet in R-15.
