Planning commission sends positive recommendation to county on Davos Estate rezone to A-20, leaves about 10 acres RR-5

The Morgan County Planning Commission recommended that the County Commission approve Rezone Application 25.003, the Davos Estate rezone, changing about 41.94 acres of a 51.94-acre parcel from Rural Residential (RR-5) to Agricultural (A-20) and leaving approximately 10 acres as RR-5.

The recommendation was moved by Member Bishop and seconded by Member McMillan; the motion carried with one nay. The action was a positive recommendation only — final approval requires a County Commission decision.

Staff planner Jeremy told the commission that the application asks to rezone roughly 41.9 acres of the parcel to A-20, “leaving approximately 10 acres of RR-5,” and noted planning concerns about introducing split zoning on a single parcel. Jeremy said staff’s review found that “introducing split zoning…introduces administrative complexity” and can “lead to potential conflicts with land use”…
