Sweetwater County commissioners approve rezoning for 25.7-acre tract to rural residential
Summary
The board unanimously approved Resolution 25-10-ZO-01 to change a 25.7-acre parcel from light industrial (I-1) to rural residential (RR); staff and the Planning & Zoning Commission had recommended approval.
Sweetwater County commissioners unanimously approved Resolution 25-10-ZO-01 on Oct. 21, 2025, to rezone a roughly 25.7-acre tract from light industrial (I-1) to rural residential (RR).
County planner Cassie Brown told the board the applicants, Adonis Bridal and Eliza Frias, own the parcel in the northeast quarter of the southeast quarter of Section 23, Township 25 North, Range 106 West (address listed in materials as 186 Highway 28). Brown said the property currently lies in the Farson-Eden fire response area and is served by Eden-Farson District water and sewer and U.S. Highway 28 access. She said the owners want the zoning change so the property may be used primarily for residence rather than industrial business use, and staff found the requested zoning consistent with the county zoning resolution and comprehensive plan and compatible with adjacent agricultural and rural-residential zoning.
Brown told commissioners the Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously recommended approval on Oct. 8, 2025 (4–0). She also reported written comments from Wyoming Department of Transportation (no objection), Lumen (no conflict), and a county AML (abandoned mine lands) review (no AML concerns) were received and are included in the record.
Commissioner Tim Toman moved to approve the zoning map amendment; Commissioner Slaughter seconded. The motion carried unanimously. Commissioner Hillman corrected the address reference during discussion, noting the property is in Farson, not Rock Springs.
The rezoning removes the property’s ability to host primary industrial uses under I-1 and allows residential uses as a permitted primary use under RR. Staff noted any future building or development on the parcel would be subject to construction permits and additional review as required.
The applicant was present at the hearing; no members of the public spoke in opposition during the public hearing.
Action items and immediate effects: the county will record Resolution 25-10-ZO-01 and proceed with the zoning map update to reflect the parcel’s new RR designation; any subsequent development proposals will follow standard permitting processes.
The record of the P&Z recommendation and the agency comments are part of the planning file for the rezoning.
