Oct. 20—The Dalton-Varnell-Whitfield County Planning Commission meets Monday at 6 p.m. in the Whitfield County Board of Commissioners meeting room of the county courthouse, 205 N. Selvidge St. in Dalton. The meeting will be livestreamed on the county's Facebook page and YouTube channel.

The planning commission makes recommendations to the city councils of Dalton and Varnell and the county commissioners on rezoning requests.

The planning commission members are scheduled to hear:

—A request by BGR03 LLC to rezone from rural residential to heavy manufacturing 3.9 acres at the intersection of the south Dalton bypass and Old Grade Road. The company wishes to store construction materials and equipment on the site.

—A request by Robert Brooks to rezone from heavy manufacturing to rural residential 2.45 acres at 1331 Tunnel Hill-Varnell Road in Dalton. Brooks wishes to demolish a commercial building on the site and develop the property for residential use.

—A request by Matrix Entertainment Group to rezone from low-density, single-family residential to general commercial 1.1 acres at 2113 Cleveland Highway in Dalton. Matrix wants to place a restaurant there.

—A request by Bryan Spence to rezone from heavy manufacturing to rural residential 2.02 acres at 158 Callahan Cavender Road in Dalton. Spence plans to build a duplex and single-family housing on the site.

—A request by Juan Figueroa to rezone from heavy manufacturing to high-density residential 1.12 acres on Waring Road in Dalton. The site has a four-unit building on it. A zoning official told the Dalton Daily Citizen earlier this month that building is unoccupied and the zoning change is needed before the power can be turned back on at the building.

—A request by Yessica A. Sandoval and Cesar G. Sandoval Silva to annex .19 acres at 1505 Hale Bowen Drive in Dalton into the city. The property is in a small island of unincorporated Whitfield County surrounded by the city. The zoning would remain medium-density, single-family residential.
