Agency approves one-lot subdivision for 2-acre Dollar General site; parking variance denied earlier
Summary
The Land Planning Agency approved a one-lot subdivision (preliminary and final review) to create a 2-acre commercial parcel zoned Commercial General for a proposed Dollar General; staff recommended approval and the board voted to approve the subdivision with the required 54 parking spaces after a previously denied parking variance.
The Land Planning Agency on Oct. 9 approved a one-lot subdivision (preliminary and final review) to create a 2-acre commercial parcel at the northwest corner of State Road 121 and County Road 23C for development as a Dollar General retail store.
LaDonna, county planning director, explained the two-acre parcel resulted from a prior division of a larger parent parcel and thus requires a subdivision plat. The county had previously approved land-use and zoning changes to commercial/general for the site; the current application is to create a single commercial lot for retail use.
LaDonna said staff has received a development application for the proposed retail store and that county engineering, survey and legal staff are reviewing drainage, site plan and permitting details. She noted recent statutory changes now allow final plat approval to be completed administratively, though the board retains authority to approve the subdivision itself in this instance.
The board and staff also confirmed a requested parking variance had been denied; the applicant therefore must provide the full 54 parking spaces required by county code. With those conditions satisfied and required permits obtained, the board approved the subdivision by motion and voice vote.
LaDonna said any remaining state or water‑management permits must be satisfied before building permits will be issued. The board’s action allows the subdivision and development process to proceed through engineering review, final platting and permit approvals.
