Commissioners back rezoning to allow a half‑acre residential lot north of Central Road
Summary
The planning commission voted to recommend rezoning 2.5 acres to single-family residential to allow Lane Jensen to create a half-acre home parcel; there was no opposition at the hearing.
The Graham County Planning and Zoning Commission on not specified recommended approval of a rezoning request from general land use to RR (single-family residential) for two parcels totaling about 2.5 acres north of Central Road, west of Shepherd Lane. The request was made by Lane Jensen to consolidate portions of two parcels and create a half-acre lot for a home.
The rezoning is administrative in nature and the commission heard staff describe it as part of a recurring pattern of property owners subdividing or consolidating land to make room for homes. The staff presenter said the applicant has sufficient property to create the half-acre parcel.
No members of the public spoke in opposition or in support during the hearing. Commissioners moved and seconded a positive recommendation; the chair called the vote, “Aye,” and the motion carried. The item will be scheduled for a Board of Supervisors hearing for final action.
Discussion versus action: the hearing included staff presentation and a short discussion; the planning commission’s vote was a recommendation only and final rezoning requires Board of Supervisors approval.
