Commissioners approve two small-scale land-use and rezoning ordinances on Reed Stafford Road
Summary
The board approved Ordinance 2025-01, a small-scale plan amendment reclassifying roughly 1.37 acres from Agricultural B to Very Low Density Residential, and companion Ordinance 2025-02 rezoning about 1.3 acres from AG-7.5 to Residential Conventional/Mobile Home 1, to correct a nonconforming family lot.
The Baker County Board of County Commissioners approved two companion land-use actions at a public hearing on March 4.
Ordinance 2025-01 reclassifies about 1.37 acres off Reed Stafford Road from Agricultural B to Very Low Density Residential. The companion ordinance, 2025-02, rezones approximately 1.3 acres from Agricultural 7.5 to Residential Conventional/Mobile Home 1 (RCMH MH-2.5). Both applications were presented together at the hearing; staff said the change will remedy a nonconforming lot created when family lots were gifted without following the county—s family lot process.
County staff noted the property is owned by Vernon Pravat (and family members) and that the county—s Local Planning Agency recommended approval. The staff report said nearby properties include residential pockets and similar low-density zoning, and staff recommended approval of both the small-scale comprehensive-plan amendment and the rezoning.
Commissioner Commander made the motion to approve Ordinance 2025-01 through the title; the motion was seconded and carried by voice vote. The board closed the public hearing and then approved Ordinance 2025-02 by motion and second; that motion likewise carried by voice vote.
No conditions were imposed beyond standard recording and effective-date provisions; staff said the ordinances bring the parcel into compliance for homestead and financing purposes.
