Recommendation
It is requested that the Board of County Commissioners conduct a public hearing to consider a change of zoning classification from GU (General Use) to AGR (Agricultural).
End
Summary Explanation and Background:
The applicants are requesting a change of zoning classification from GU to AGR on a 4.74-acre lot to build a single-family residence, a barn, and raising and grazing of animals. Approval of this request will provide better consistency with the Future Land Use designation and the proposed use of the property.
Historically, the GU zoning classification has been interpretated as a holding category. The AGR zoning classification will provide greater consistency with the AGRIC FLU designation as a component of this land use is to reduce the extent of urban sprawl and permit agricultural activities. Residential densities shall not exceed one dwelling unit per five acres.
The subject property received an administrative waiver under AA2344 of 0.5 acres to the minimum lot size requirements for GU zoning on September 29, 2006. On February 19, 2025, the Board of Adjustment approved under 24V00055 the following requests for the subject property: 1.) Section 62-1333(4) to permit a variance of 0.26 acres from the minimum lot size required for rezoning to AGR (Agricultural) and 2.) Section 62-1255(b)(1)(f) to permit a variance of 0.26 acres from the minimum lot size required for AGRIC Future Land Use Designation. There are no previous zoning actions for the subject property.
The Board may wish to consider if the request is consistent and compatible with the surrounding area.
On March 17, 2025, the Planning and Zoning Board heard the request and unanimously recommended approval.
