Planning staff recommends approval of two rezoning requests; planning commission recommended 5-0
Summary
Planning staff presented two rezoning requests—one to split a 7.86-acre tract at 124 Willow Road to create two residential lots and another to rezone a portion of a 33.34-acre tract at 285 Stevens View Road to Highway Business and Rural Residential—both recommended 5-0 by the planning commission.
Planning director Charles Reese briefed commissioners on two rezoning applications the planning commission recommended for approval.
Case RZ-191004: Applicant Justin Burke requested rezoning of a 1.5-acre portion of a 7.86-acre tract at 124 Willow Road (parcel 018030005) from Small Agriculture to Rural Residential to create two lots for single-family dwellings to assist family members, Reese said. The site lies within the county's rural development character area; staff found no expected negative environmental impacts and recommended approval. Reese reported the planning commission voted 5-0 to recommend approval.
Case RZ-191011: Applicant Darryl Morris, speaking on behalf of Ava Rogers, requested rezoning of a combined 12-acre portion of a 33.34-acre tract at 285 Stevens View Road (parcel 053D079). Reese said the proposal would rezone one acre to Rural Residential (to be combined with a neighboring lot, parcel 053D078001) and 11 acres to Highway Business with the intent to sell the commercial portion. The site falls along Highway 515 South and Highway 108; staff said the comprehensive plan designates the area as arterial commercial corridor and suburban residential, supporting the mixed residential and commercial rezoning. Reese reported the planning commission voted 5-0 to recommend approval with conditions that included combining the one-acre portion with the northern lot.
Commissioners asked about access to the 11-acre commercial portion; Reese replied access would be from Refuge Road rather than Stevens View Road, and he confirmed a condition could be added to limit access points if the board desired. No formal action was taken at the work session; planning staff said the items will appear on the board's October 20 agenda for consideration.
