Planning staff present rezoning and four-lot subdivision near West Davenport; one supervisor requests removal from consent agenda
Summary
Planning staff presented a subdivision of a ~20-acre West Davenport property previously rezoned to commercial into four lots; no public comments were reported and one supervisor asked that the item be removed from consent to vote "no" in principle citing protection of agricultural land.
Planning staff reviewed a rezoning and subdivision proposal for roughly 20 acres on Davenport's west side, previously rezoned from agricultural to C-2 (commercial). The applicant proposes dividing the parcel into four lots of roughly 4 to 6 acres with a drainage easement to preserve drainage to a neighboring pond.
Staff noted the site lies within two miles of the City of Davenport, so the city must sign off; the County Planning and Zoning Commission recommended conditions when earlier rezoning was approved. Planning staff said no new public comments had been received since the prior meeting.
A supervisor asked that the item be removed from the consent agenda because they planned to vote against it in principle to protect agricultural lands, citing the site's high CSR rating and expressing concern about urban sprawl. Planning staff reiterated the process and noted PNZ's prior conditions and the need for Davenport sign-off for development within the two-mile jurisdiction.
Next steps: the item will proceed through regular agenda procedures; removal from consent indicates at least one supervisor intends to vote against the current proposal.
