Planning commission recommends rezoning of Tazewell County parcel from C-2 to R-1
Summary
The Tri-County Planning Commission voted to approve findings recommending that the county board rezone a parcel from C-2 (general business) to R-1 (low-density residential), concluding the parcel appears to have been improperly zoned and is already used for housing.
The Tri-County Planning Commission approved findings and voted to recommend that the Tazewell County Board rezone a parcel from C-2 general business to R-1 low-density residential (case 25-01c).
Commission members said the parcel and surrounding tracts appear to have been residential in practice and likely were zoned incorrectly at some earlier point, creating difficulties for the new owners who sought a residential mortgage. The commission’s written findings described the zoning as outdated and noted existing residential use in the area.
Commissioner Vaughn moved to approve the findings of fact; Lapsley seconded. The motion passed on a roll call; the members recorded in the transcript as voting yes were Coopy, Fair, Laxley, McLeanhan, Vaughn, Miller and Chair Leslie. The commission’s action was a recommendation to the county board rather than a final rezoning decision.
Because the commission’s role in this case was advisory, the county board will receive the recommendation and any record of the commission’s findings for its consideration. No binding change of zoning took effect as a result of this meeting.
