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 SR (Suburban Residential).
End
Summary Explanation and Background:
The applicant is requesting to rezone 1.0 acre from GU (General Use) to SR (Suburban Residential) to have a zoning classification that is consistent with the subject property’s lot size for the construction of a future single-family residence.
The GU zoning classification and RES 2 FLU designation are original to the property. The subject property meets the minimum size, lot width, and depth requirements for the proposed SR zoning classification. The SR zoning classification and the RES 2 Future Land Use Map (FLUM) designation are consistent.
GU classification is a holding category that encompasses rural single-family residential development, unimproved lands for which there is no definite current proposal for development, or land in areas lacking specific development trends, on five acre lots with a minimum width and depth of 300 feet. The minimum house size in GU is 750 square feet.
SR classification encompasses lands devoted to single-family residential development of relatively spacious character, together with such accessory uses as may be necessary or are normally compatible with residential surroundings on minimum half acre lots, with a minimum width of 100 feet and a depth of 150 feet. The minimum house size in SR is 1,300 square feet.
The SR zoning classification is established on the abutting property north of the subject property.
The configuration of this lot may present challenges with regards to access. The applicant is on notice that securing an approved access easement is a prerequisite to pursuing a residential building permit.
The Board may consider if the request is consistent and compatible with the surrounding area.
On January 12, 2026, the Planning and Zoning Board heard the request and unanimously recommended approval.
