Vandenberg commissioners deny rezoning request for Nellis Lawn Services after wide neighbor opposition
Summary
Vandenberg County commissioners on May 20 denied a request by Nellis Lawn Services LLC to rezone two acres on Crestle Road from agricultural to C-4 commercial with a restrictive use commitment, following extensive public comment and a split recommendation from the Area Planning Commission.
Vandenberg County commissioners on May 20 voted to deny a rezoning ordinance (VC-5-2025) that would have rezoned two acres of a 25-acre property on Crestle Road for use by Nellis Lawn Services LLC. The denial was approved by roll call after public testimony that ran more than an hour; the formal motion to deny passed on a 3-0 roll call of present commissioners.
The petition sought to change the parcel’s zoning from agricultural to C-4 commercial with a UDC (use development commitment) limiting activities to wholesale landscaping and related service uses. Josh Claiborne, attorney for the petitioner, told commissioners, “The purpose is wholesale landscaping business, so there would be no public customers.” The Area Planning Commission had recommended approval on a 5-3 vote, conditioned on an amended UDC and a tree buffer.
