Fiscal Court holds first readings for two 1-acre zone changes on Mount Zion Road
Summary
The court held first readings for two proposed zone changes: one for a 1-acre parcel on Elliston Mount Zion Road (Shepherd) and a 1.09-acre parcel on East Dry Ridge Mount Zion Road (Shipp). Both requests seek a change from Agriculture-1 to Residential-1; planning and zoning previously recommended approval.
Grant County Fiscal Court held first readings on two ordinance requests to rezone small parcels along Mount Zion Road from Agriculture-1 to Residential-1; both requests were forwarded with planning-and-zoning approval and will return for second reading at a future meeting.
The first ordinance (No. 3-2025-0286) concerns a one-acre parcel at 3950 Elliston Mount Zion Road owned by Mark and Judy Shepherd; the record indicates the Shepherds plan to deed off the acre to a family member. The second ordinance (No. 4-2025-0287) concerns a 1.09-acre parcel on the east side of Dry Ridge–Mount Zion Road owned by Lisa Shipp, who similarly plans to deed the lot to her son to build a residence.
The nut graf: Both items were presented as first readings with planning and zoning approval and no recorded opposition; the court will consider second readings at an upcoming meeting before any zoning change takes effect.
Judge Dills read the ordinance summaries into the record and said both items will return for second reading at the next court meeting. No public opposition was recorded on the meeting minutes for these first readings.
Ending: Both rezoning requests proceed to the court’s next meeting for second reading and final action; the court did not vote to adopt changes at this session.
