Planning commission approves Ag Land Declaration for two family lots in ag zone
Summary
The Lewiston Planning and Zoning Commission approved an agricultural land declaration allowing two single-family lots in the ag zone after staff said the parcels meet the 10-acre density and frontage requirements; one commissioner abstained citing a family relation.
The Lewiston Planning and Zoning Commission voted to approve an agricultural land declaration that would allow two single-family homes on two adjacent parcels, after staff told the commission the parcels meet the city’s frontage and density requirements.
A staff member explained the proposal involves two partial parcels—one of 5.5 acres and one of 4.4 acres—which together total 9.9 acres; a hatched 10.1-acre area on the submitted plan would be declared agricultural and preserved from development so each new lot meets the 10-acre density requirement. “The frontage passes code, the density passes code, so it meets all the requirements for the Ag Land Declaration,” a staff member said.
A motion to approve the Ag Land Declaration passed. Jared Glover announced he would abstain because the matter is a family matter. The motion was seconded and commissioners voted to approve the declaration; no commissioners voiced opposition.
Commission discussion was limited. Commissioners and staff noted that the hatched area on the plan is intended to remain undeveloped to satisfy the code’s density intent and to preserve surrounding agricultural land from further subdivision. The staff presentation included a map shown on the meeting screen and a summary that the proposal “meets all requirements.”
The commission approved the minutes from the February 5 meeting later in the same session.
