Commission approves rezoning for two Reno Township parcels (case DEB25057)
Summary
The commission adopted Resolution 2025-21 to rezone two small parcels in the historic Reno Township from RR-5 to R-1-43, following a planning commission recommendation and staff findings; the vote was unanimous.
The Leavenworth County Commission voted to adopt Resolution 2025-21 and approve rezoning of two parcels in the old Reno Township (case DEB25057) from RR-5 to R-1-43. The planning commission had recommended approval at its June meeting and county staff presented the request to the commission.
Staff said the parcels are small, part of the original Reno Township plat, and that one property owner seeks rezoning to place a septic system on an adjoining parcel because the owner’s current septic system is failing. Staff noted the request is a departure from comprehensive-plan density guidance but said other regulatory criteria were met; the planning commission recommended approval.
A commissioner moved to find the rezoning request met the county’s review factors and to adopt Resolution 2025-21. The motion was seconded and passed by unanimous voice vote; individual roll-call yea/nay names were not recorded in the transcript. Staff did not provide the names of the property owners during the public meeting.
County staff said the rezoning is unlikely to set a broad precedent because the parcels are small and clustered amid much larger tracts. No amendments to the rezoning motion were offered.
The commission did not specify an effective date for the rezoning during the meeting; staff will complete required implementation steps according to standard county procedures.
