Board hears a routine rezoning and variance request to allow beekeeping and cultivation on a 2.2‑acre lot
Summary
Mark Anderson asked to rezone a 2.2‑acre parcel from R‑2 to AR‑1 to permit agricultural uses such as beekeeping and cultivation; the board signaled no objection at the work session and the related variance for minimum lot size was discussed as a routine formality.
Mark Anderson presented a request to rezone a 2.2‑acre property on Jackson Road (parcel in Land Lot 226, Third Land District) from R‑2 (single‑family residential) to AR‑1 (agricultural‑residential) to permit agricultural activities including beekeeping and cultivation. Staff noted AR‑1 typically requires a minimum 3‑acre lot in some contexts, so the applicant also requested a variance for the minimum lot-size requirement.
Commissioners discussed the parcel’s size (about 2.2 acres) and whether the rezoning and variance were appropriate; no commissioner voiced substantive objection during the work session and staff indicated they would proceed with the variance review. The item was set to proceed through the regular meeting process for formal action; no vote occurred during the work session.
