Graham County planning commission sets public hearing to rezone property used as kennel
Summary
Graham County Planning and Zoning members voted to set a public hearing for REZ925-25 (APN 107-30-048), a rezoning request from general land use to M (general manufacturing) filed by Wade and Terry Lineberger to bring a property used as a kennel into compliance. Staff also reported several rezoning approvals from a recent board meeting.
Graham County Planning and Zoning members voted to set a public hearing for a rezoning request by Wade and Terry Lineberger so the property now used as a kennel can be brought into compliance.
The request, recorded as REZ925-25 (APN 107-30-048) and described by the chair as located at 7716 East Sanchez Road, Sanford — "on top of Mesa behind the house," — asks to rezone the parcel from a general land use classification to M, general manufacturing. Chair called for the motion to set the item for hearing and the motion carried after a voice vote.
Why it matters: rezoning would change the parcel's official land-use category and could allow current kennel operations to be recognized under county zoning regulations. Staff told the commission the item had not been properly noticed for this meeting and the applicant agreed to have the hearing set for the next meeting once notice is corrected.
At the meeting, Steve, a county staff member, told commissioners that an item intended for this agenda "didn't get properly notified so or noticed," and that county staff had moved it to the next meeting with the applicant's agreement. Following that explanation, the chair read the rezoning item and the commission voted to set it up for public hearing.
Staff also summarized recent rezoning actions approved at a separate board meeting. The report noted these items were approved by the board: a rezone requested by Travis Palmer (by power of attorney) for a site on Fortieth Street to permit repair of copper anodes for Freeport; a 250-acre Tri County request rezoned to multifamily south of town; a half-acre rezone in Artesia Estates within Thunderbird Hills; approvals for 10 and 15-acre parcels related to Layton's Onion Barn venue (with a limitation reported that the venue was approved for 3 to 5 RV/parking spaces for events and would need additional review for more); and a rezone for the Clontz Family Trust to multifamily residential that included a zoning fix for an on-site kennel and a grant of right-of-way to Graham County for a farm road.
The commission approved the minutes for its previous meeting by voice vote before moving to new business. The chair closed the meeting segment after members were invited to a breakfast and to meet Board of Adjustment and county staff attendees.
The commission did not take final action on the Lineberger rezoning at this meeting; it only set the item for a properly noticed public hearing at a future meeting.
Votes at a glance: the commission approved the minutes by voice vote (mover and seconder identified in the meeting record but not by name) and voted to set REZ925-25 (APN 107-30-048) for public hearing; the voice vote carried (transcript: "All in favor, aye" and later "Motion carries").
