Planning commission recommends rezoning of two parcels to R-2.5 for family estate planning
Summary
The commission unanimously recommended that two parcels (addresses listed in the staff report) be rezoned from RR5 to R2.5, finding the request consistent with the county's future land use map and the 'golden factors.'
Leavenworth County Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend that the county commission rezone portions of two parcels — listed in the staff report at 17210 Pimple Road and adjoining Linwood Road property under the same ownership — from RR5 to R2.5.
Planning staff said the request aligns with the county’s future land use map calling for residential 2.5-acre minimum zoning and that the request satisfied the local “golden factors” used in rezoning analysis. The applicant’s agent, Crystal Voth of Atlas Land Consulting, told the commission the rezoning is for family estate planning among siblings and that the applicant would submit a plat if the rezoning is approved.
Why it matters: Rezoning to R2.5 would permit smaller residential lot sizes consistent with surrounding zoning where portions of the parcel are already zoned R2.5; approval would allow the owners to proceed with a platting process if they choose.
Public comment and outcome: No members of the public signed up to speak for or against the rezoning at the public hearing. After a motion that the request complies with the golden factors, the commission voted unanimously to recommend approval to the Board of County Commissioners. The Board will consider the request no earlier than July 30, 2025, at 9 a.m., according to staff.
