Owner group asks to rezone 5-acre Hardman Morris Road parcel so existing mobile home can remain as ADU
Summary
A request was described to rezone a 5-acre parcel from A2 to AR at 2613 Hardman Morris Road to allow an existing single-wide placed under a past medical-hardship exemption to remain as an accessory dwelling unit; staff said the home would need approval to remain or must be removed.
Planning staff presented a rezoning request tied to a property at 2613 Hardman Morris Road in Calvert (Map 59, Parcel 96M, District 5). The application, submitted by Alex Azorio for Soma Investments Inc., seeks to rezone 5 acres from A2 to AR to allow an existing single-wide mobile home to remain as an accessory dwelling unit for a family member.
Staff said the parcel currently contains both a double-wide and a single-wide unit historically permitted under a medical-hardship allowance. The single-wide has been on the property since about February 2008 and later occupied by family members. Staff said both previous occupants died in 2024; the new purchasers are completing a monthly payment plan and ownership has not fully transferred to Soma Investments Inc. The applicants want the single-wide to remain as housing for a daughter; staff said if the ADU designation is not approved the mobile home would need to be removed.
Because AR zoning carries a larger minimum lot size, staff said the 5-acre parcel must be rezoned from A2 to AR to allow the ADU under current county rules. The transcript shows staff presentation and clarifying questions; no formal motion or vote on the rezoning appears in the recorded discussion.
