Graham County planning commissioners approve rezoning request for Solomon property
Summary
The planning commission approved a rezoning request by property owner Sandra Herrado to change zoning from MX (Unlimited Manufacturing) to AR (agricultural/residential). The item will be heard by the Board of Supervisors on Nov. 3.
Graham County planning commissioners voted to approve a rezoning request by property owner Sandra Herrado to change the zoning of a parcel in Solomon from MX (Unlimited Manufacturing) to AR (agricultural/residential).
The parcel identified in the meeting record as REZ942-25 (APN 107-5-3-033.8 acres) is listed in the file with an address of 2469 Second Avenue in Solomon at the southeast corner of Center Street and Second Avenue. “I purchased it from a older lady back in 1989, and I just wanna make sure that I'm along with my neighbors,” Sandra Herrado said, explaining she discovered the MX zoning when she sought a building permit to place a manufactured home on the lot.
Planning staff told the commission the property is not being used for industrial purposes and does not meet the MX zoning requirements; staff also said it received no correspondence for or against the rezoning. A commissioner moved to approve the rezoning; the motion was seconded and carried. The meeting record states the item will be scheduled for the Graham County Board of Supervisors meeting on Nov. 3 at 8 a.m.
Commissioners and staff discussed whether the MX designation had affected Herrado’s property taxes; an assessor present in the room indicated the zoning change would not change the tax base, according to the transcript. Herrado said a previous adobe house on the lot had been demolished in 2014 and that she wants to place a manufactured home on the property but needs to resolve permitting and fees before doing so.
No formal vote tally or individual roll-call votes were recorded in the available meeting transcript; the minutes record only that the motion was moved, seconded and “motion carries.” The planning commission noted that the Board of Supervisors will consider the same rezoning application at its upcoming meeting.
The commission’s approval at this hearing is a recommendation to the Board of Supervisors; the transcript does not record any Board action on the matter.
