Columbia County Planning Commission approve latest phase of Tillery Park, proposed veterinary office in Grovetown

Date: July 20, 2024

The Columbia County Planning Commission approved plans for the latest phase of the Tillery Park subdivision in Grovetown, during its meeting Thursday evening—held in a consecutive week after its previous one amid July 4 falling on a Thursday this year—along with the architectural review of a proposed veterinarian clinic.

The preliminary plat for Phase III of Ivey Development’s Tillery Park entails 120 total lots along some 37 acres off Baker Place Road. The parcel was zoned planned residential development in 2020, and the county has approved a major revision of the plan each year since then.

The new section is to include 92 single-family lots with an average size of more than 7,000 square feet, and 28 attached single-family lots with an average of over 3,500 square feet.

Westhaven Vet is a one-story clinic proposed for a triangular 1.67-acre tract at 435 Westhaven Court, neighboring Westhaven Preschool and the High Meadows subdivision in Grovetown. The building would be the latest in a planned development, zoned P-1 Professional, which began with the preschool, approved and constructed in 2020. In April of this year the county approved the architectural review for a new office planned for Jordan Family Dentistry, currently under construction on a tract immediately north of the Westhaven Vet parcel.

The planning commissioners also unanimously approved a request by property owner Jackson Senior LLC to rezone a one-acre tract at 3905 Roberts Road from C-2 General Commercial to C-2 Heavy Commercial, and to grant conditional light industrial use, to allow the operation of a commercial woodworking shop on the premises.
