Commission forwards commercial/manufacturing rezoning request near Highway 70
Summary
The commission voted to forward a rezoning request by DMP FP LLC (Eric Swanson) to convert about 29 acres north of Highway 70 to commercial/manufacturing uses; Graham County Electric Co-op expressed support.
The Planning and Zoning Commission voted to forward a favorable recommendation to the Board of Supervisors for REZ934-25, a request by DMP FP LLC (Eric Swanson) to rezone APN 104-11-017B (29 acres) from General Land Use to Commercial/Manufacturing for future development.
Planning staff described the site as north of Highway 70 between Steve’s Service Center and the Brown County Co-op yard. The applicant was not present but an interested party and Graham County Electric Co-op representative (Rusty Sherman) spoke in favor. Sherman said the co-op and a nearby property owner are supportive and that the co-op has discussed acquiring some of the rezoned land for an equipment/laydown yard.
Staff said supervisors prefer commercial uses along the highway corridor. No letters of opposition were on the record. A commissioner moved and seconded the recommendation; the motion carried on a voice vote. The item will be set for the Board of Supervisors for final action.
