Commission approves rezoning for Terry McKendrick parcel to 20,000-square-foot residential

The Carbon County Board of Commissioners unanimously adopted Ordinance 588 on a voice vote to change the zoning classification for Parcel 02-1655-0003 from rural residential 2.5-acre (RR-2.5) to rural residential R-1 (approximately 20,000 square feet). The motion was made and seconded during the meeting and carried without recorded opposition.

The change affects a property at the end of 600 West that abuts a cul-de-sac and is surrounded by lots already zoned for roughly half-acre parcels. Todd, a staff member who presented the item, told commissioners the planning commission reviewed the request at its last meeting and recommended approval unanimously. Todd said utilities, water and sewer are available at the road and the applicant intends a one-lot subdivision to create a building lot.

The rezoning was described as a routine map amendment; no public opposition or additional conditions were recorded in the meeting record. The board’s action will allow the landowner to proceed with the subdivision process under the R-1 district standards.

Parcel and ordinance details: Parcel 02-1655-0003; Ordinance 588 (zone map amendment). The planning commission recommendation and staff report were cited in the presentation but no written remonstrances or variance requests were discussed at the hearing.

Next steps: With the ordinance adopted, the applicant may submit subdivision and building permit applications consistent with the R-1 zone standards and applicable county subdivision regulations.
