Planning staff recommends rezoning of two Dotsonville Road parcels to allow single-family lot
Summary
A rezoning application (CZ142025) would reclassify two nonconforming agricultural parcels totaling 0.76 acres to R-1 single-family residential so they may be combined into a single lot and permit a house, staff and the planning commission recommended approval.
Planning staff recommended approval of a rezoning application at the Aug. 4 Montgomery County commission meeting that would convert two small agricultural parcels along Dotsonville Road into one single-family residential lot.
The request: The application, CZ142025, seeks to rezone two parcels totaling 0.76 acres from AG (agricultural) to R-1 (single-family residential). County planning staff explained the lots are nonconforming under current agricultural minimum-lot-size rules and that rezoning would permit combining the parcels into a single buildable lot without sewer service.
Why it matters: the change alters permitted uses and lot-size standards at the site and is in the county’s urban growth boundary; staff said it is consistent with the surrounding suburban neighborhood pattern.
Details: Planner Tim Tindle said the parcels front the eastern side of Dotsonville Road about 500 feet south of the Dotsonville Road–Tommy Oliver Road intersection in Commission District 7. Combined they total 0.76 acres. Under agricultural zoning each parcel would require 1.5 acres; under R-1 without sewer the minimum lot size is 20,000 square feet (about 0.46 acres). Staff said combining the two noncompliant lots into one will allow one house on the new lot. Planning staff and the planning commission recommended approval and reported no adverse environmental issues.
Public comment and action: no one spoke for or against CZ142025 during the public hearing, and the public hearing was closed. The transcript records planning staff and the planning commission recommendation for approval; the meeting record does not include a separate roll-call vote on the rezoning in the transcript excerpt.
