Genola planning commission recommends rezoning 366 S. 800 E. to R‑1; adds adjacent parcel
Summary
At its May 1 meeting the Genola Planning Commission voted to forward a positive recommendation to the town council to rezone an LKBD Investment parcel at 366 South 800 East from A‑1 (agricultural) to R‑1 (residential) and include a second parcel (290350127) in the action.
The Genola Planning Commission on May 1 voted to forward a positive recommendation to the Genola Town Council to rezone property at approximately 366 South 800 East from A‑1 (agricultural) to R‑1 (residential). The motion, which added a second parcel number (290350127) to the request, passed by voice vote.
The rezoning request was presented during a public hearing by the property owner’s representative, who identified himself as Mike and said the change would allow divisions of the family farm into homestead lots for returning family members. Mike said the property contains "about 29, 30" (as stated at the meeting) and that a water line has been installed; power and gas lines run across the street.
The request originally referenced parcel 290350171; during discussion commissioners and staff identified an interior quarter‑acre parcel that also needed to be included and added parcel 290350127 to the motion. Planning staff (Norm) confirmed the zoning map used was current as of Aug. 24 and noted the interior parcel appeared to be taxed as residential and appears on the map as zoned A‑1 under the existing records. Commissioners discussed whether the interior parcel should be included; the applicant provided the additional parcel number and commissioners amended the recommendation to cover both parcel numbers.
Commissioners and staff reviewed the general plan map and noted the area is shown as contemplated future residential in the town’s general plan. No members of the public spoke for or against the rezoning during the public hearing.
The commission’s recommendation is advisory; final action on the rezone will be taken by the Genola Town Council. The planning commission emphasized that rezoning alone does not create lot splits or subdivisions; any future subdivision or development would be subject to separate review and permitting, including subdivision review and frontage/access questions that staff said would be addressed at the subdivision stage.
Action recorded: the commission moved that it "forward a positive recommendation to the town council for a rezone on 290350171 and 290350127 from A‑1 to R‑1." The motion passed by voice vote with no recorded roll‑call.
