Supervisors approve several residential-to-agricultural and residential rezoning requests
Summary
On July 15 the board approved a slate of rezoning petitions—mostly converting residential parcels to agricultural zoning and one small consolidation—each after a public hearing and unanimous votes.
The Pennsylvania County Board of Supervisors approved several rezoning petitions July 15, granting requests to convert multiple parcels from residential zoning to agricultural district or to reclassify small parcels for consolidation.
Cases approved were: - Case R‑25‑012: Victor and Veil Hardy — 46.81 acres on State Road 746/Golf Club Road, rezoned from R‑1 Residential Suburban Subdivision District to A‑1 Agricultural District (to allow agricultural use and an accessory structure). Planning commission recommended approval 7‑0. Motion to approve passed unanimously. - Case R‑25‑013: Harold Jr. and Caroline Carver — 83.49 acres on State Road 62/Milton Highway, rezoned from R‑1 to A‑1 to allow agricultural uses. Planning commission recommended approval 7‑0; board approved unanimously. - Case R‑25‑014: Kingdom Land LLC — 19.46 acres on State Road 706/Abbott Place, rezoned from a split of A‑1 and R‑1 to A‑1 to allow subdivision. Planning commission recommended approval 7‑0; board approved unanimously. - Case R‑25‑016: Andrew Oaks Jr. and Jacqueline Oaks — 0.248 acre on State Road 646/Spring Road, rezoned from A‑1 to R‑1 to allow consolidation with an adjacent R‑1 parcel. Planning commission recommended approval 7‑0; board approved unanimously. - Case R‑25‑017: Tony and Annette Willis — 4.27 acres on Blair Lane (State Road 1003), rezoned from R‑1 to A‑1 to consolidate with adjacent A‑1 property. Planning commission recommended approval 7‑0; board approved unanimously.
Each petition was opened for public hearing, petitioners or their representatives were present in several cases, and staff summaries and the planning commission recommendations were included in the board packet. The motions to approve each rezoning passed by unanimous vote; clerks recorded each outcome and the board directed staff to update county records accordingly.
The approvals mostly returned properties to or preserved agricultural designation or allowed consolidation with adjacent parcels, enabling agricultural uses or harmonizing lot zoning with neighboring parcels. The board’s actions incorporated the planning commission’s favorable recommendations, and no substantial opposition was recorded during these specific hearings.
