Summary

A landowner presented a request to rezone the house portion of a 23‑acre property at 4178 Peru Road from AG to R1 so the existing single‑family residence can be a principal permitted use; the commission recommended approval to City Council.

Dan Miller asked the commission to rezone the portion of a 23‑acre property at 4178 Peru Road from AG (agriculture) to R1 (single‑family residential) so the existing house and lane can be reconfigured as a separate residential lot. Miller said the property is split among heirs and the family wishes to sell the farmland while one sibling remains in the house.

Assistant planner Jason Duba described the applicant’s proposal in more detail: the site consists of two lots totaling about 23 acres, includes a single‑family residence and a detached accessory structure, and the applicant provided a proposed subdivision plat showing reconfiguration that would create a roughly 1.5‑acre lot containing the house and accessory structure and a second lot to remain in agricultural use. Duba explained that in the AG district a single‑family residence is only allowed as accessory to agriculture, so the rezoning to R1 would allow the house as a principal permitted use.

No letters of support or opposition were reported. Commissioners made a motion to approve the rezoning from AG to R1, the motion was seconded, and a roll call vote carried the recommendation with all members present voting aye. The item will be forwarded to the City Council for its July 21 meeting.
