Chattooga County residents will have an opportunity to weigh in on a proposal that could temporarily halt certain types of non-traditional development projects.
Sole Commissioner Andy Allen has scheduled a public meeting to discuss a proposed moratorium that would pause approval of developments such as cargo container homes, tiny home communities, multi-service community projects, and other similar residential or mixed-use developments identified during the county’s review process.
County officials say the temporary moratorium would give local leaders time to examine current land use regulations and determine whether existing ordinances adequately address these emerging types of development. The review would also consider potential impacts on public health, safety, community welfare, and future growth before any long-term policy changes are considered.
The public meeting will be held Friday, July 10, 2026, at 10 a.m. in the Chattooga County Commissioner’s Office at 10102 Commerce Street in Summerville.
Residents, property owners, developers, and anyone with an interest in the proposal are invited to attend and share comments. According to the Commissioner’s Office, no final decision has been made, and the meeting is intended to gather public input and ensure community members have an opportunity to participate in the discussion before any action is taken on the proposed moratorium.
