Council denies Mike Wheeler rezoning request over incomplete master development plan
Summary
The Westmoreland City Council unanimously denied a rezoning request from Mike Wheeler for property near the intersection of State Route 31E and Highway 52, citing incomplete submittals and the absence of a master development plan required by planning and zoning standards.
The Westmoreland City Council on Sept. 18 voted unanimously to deny a request to rezone property owned by Mike Wheeler to C-2, citing incomplete materials and the absence of a required master development plan.
The property was described in the meeting as “map 45 Park partial 6024.6 acres along State Route Highway 31 E and Highway 52 intersection.” The planning and zoning commission recommended denial, saying Wheeler did not provide a master development plan or necessary information such as topography, infrastructure, roadway or utilities. The planning commission’s negative recommendation was forwarded to council for final action.
Planning staff and council members said the applicant submitted a survey and highlighted boundary lines and hand-drawn sketches but did not submit a civil-engineer-drawn master development plan as required by the city’s zoning ordinance. Council members noted the city’s zoning rules are intended to apply consistently and that the submission did not meet established standards.
A motion to deny the rezoning request for “incomplete submittals” was made and seconded (second recorded as Councilman Brown). The council then voted unanimously to deny the request.
Council members said the applicant may resubmit after preparing the required master development plan and addressing the infrastructure and engineering requirements specified by planning staff and the planning and zoning commission.
