Board sets public hearing for rezoning of 2385 Johnson Road, keeps existing lake
Summary
On first reading the Germantown Board approved Ordinance 2025-6 to rezone 2385 Johnson Road from RE (2-acre minimum) to RE-1; the developer’s plan shows about 17 lots and preserves the on-site pond. Second reading and public hearing were set for Aug. 25, 2025.
The Board of Mayor and Aldermen approved Ordinance 2025-6 on first reading July 28 to rezone a roughly 26-acre parcel at 2385 Johnson Road from RE (Residential Estate, 2-acre minimum) to RE-1 (Residential Estate, 1-acre minimum). The board set the ordinance’s second reading and public hearing for Aug. 25, 2025.
Director Ross described the property as a single-family lot developed in 1973 that includes a large pond. The developer’s illustrative plan submitted to staff shows approximately 17 lots, retention of the existing lake and a mail kiosk. The Planning Commission’s sketch-plan committee and a neighborhood meeting preceded the application; the Planning Commission recommended the rezoning earlier in July.
Alderman Salvaggio moved approval on first reading; Alderman Hicks seconded. Multiple aldermen who spoke — including Alderman Salvaggio, Alderman Hicks and Alderman Yulicki — said the proposed density and the developer’s plan are consistent with surrounding zoning and that they appreciated the plan’s preservation of the lake. Alderman (transcript: Sabaccio) also noted the lake would remain and emphasized planning scrutiny of drainage and detention when final plans are reviewed.
The board approved first reading and scheduled the required second reading and public hearing for Aug. 25, 2025. Next steps are plan submittal with engineering details, staff review, and the public hearing on the second reading.
Ending: The board concluded action on the rezoning and moved on to adjournment.
