Georgia waste plant permit upheld despite developer’s plan for 97 townhomes

A developer in Bartow County, Georgia challenged a permit for a nearby waste processing facility. The county approved the permit despite concerns that it violated zoning restrictions. The developer argued that their planned townhomes should receive protection under existing zoning laws. However, the court found that the definitions of residential dwellings applied only to already constructed buildings. Ultimately, the appeals court upheld the permit, allowing the waste facility to operate.
