Summary

The board approved zoning district amendment ZDA-03-25, changing the Willis property at 83 Middleworth Lane from agricultural to rural residential after staff and planning commission review and unanimous recommendation from planning and zoning.

County planning staff presented zoning-district amendment ZDA-03-25 for a property owned by Nathan Willis at 83 Middleworth Lane and recommended approval. Staff reported that the application was complete, that the proposal aligns with the Albany County comprehensive plan, and that no substantive engineering or state transportation objections were outstanding.

"The planning department believes the proposed zoning district amendment generally follows the suggestions of the Albany County comprehensive plan," staff stated, and the planning and zoning commission unanimously recommended approval.

Commissioner motioned to approve ZDA-03-25, including the staff findings of fact and conclusions of law, and the board voted to adopt the zoning change from agricultural to rural residential and the recommended conditions in the staff report.

Why it matters: rezoning changes the permitted uses and potential subdivision pathways for the property at 83 Middleworth Lane and was presented to the board with findings incorporated from the staff analysis and planning commission recommendation.

Discussion vs. action: staff presentation and planning commission findings comprised discussion; the board made a formal decision to approve ZDA-03-25 and adopt staff findings.

Next steps: adopt and record the ordinance/resolution language as required by county procedure and notify property owner and relevant agencies.
