Commissioners approve rezoning for residence at 130 Smith Lane in Crescent City
Summary
Putnam County commissioners approved a zoning change from Commercial Neighborhood (C‑1) to Residential‑2 (R‑2) for a 2.8‑acre parcel at 130 Smith Lane in Crescent City to allow a single‑family home; staff noted mixed FEMA flood zones including AE.
Michael Graves presented REZ 25‑000004, a request from Robert and Margaret Mara to rezone a 2.8‑acre parcel at 130 Smith Lane in Crescent City from Commercial Neighborhood (C‑1) to Residential‑2 (R‑2) to allow a single‑family home. Staff said the parcel is vacant, has approximately 40 feet of access to Smith Lane and is designated Rural Residential under the county future‑land‑use map.
Graves reported GIS layers show no wetlands on the National Wetlands Inventory but indicated the site is within a mix of FEMA flood zones: Zone X, X500 and AE (AE is a special flood‑hazard area). He told commissioners that if approved the applicants would be eligible to apply for building and site development permits and that development in the R‑2 district would be subject to normal permitting and technical review.
No members of the public spoke for or against the rezoning during the public hearing. The board moved to approve REZ 25‑000004 (ordinance 2025‑014) and carried the motion by voice vote. Graves reiterated that required permitting, floodplain considerations and the DRC review would apply to any development.
