FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. â The Forsyth County Planning Commission voted April 27 to nix proposed regulations they say would limit lower income families from the calling the county home.
The issue stemmed from proposed changes to the countyâs regulations governing manufactured or mobile homes. County officials said the changes were initially spurred by cases in which developers have tried to create de-facto mobile home parks outside of areas zoned for the structures.
While planning officials agreed with many elements of the changes â mostly related to aesthetics â they balked at a proposed minimum lot size requirement of 2 acres for a manufactured home built outside of districts the county has zoned for mobile homes. Proponents of the 2-acre requirement say it would move Forsyth County closer to reflecting standards of neighboring counties.
