Hog Hammock’s Zoning Battle | Savannah News

McIntosh County is racing against time to finalize new zoning rules for Hog Hammock, the historic Gullah Geechee community on Sapelo Island, before a looming building freeze expires. Residents are sounding the alarm—tight deadlines and rushed public meetings leave little room for deep review, sparking fears about rushed decisions. The latest draft slashes height limits to 32 feet, down from previous reductions, as locals push for development that honors the area’s rich cultural heritage. The proposal will return to the planning board, with another public hearing set for August 4th, before commissioners make the final call—offering more input before the final vote.
