Court approves rezoning of 4637 South Danville Bypass to light industrial with use restrictions
Summary
The Boyle County Fiscal Court approved a Planning & Zoning–recommended rezoning of a 5‑acre parcel at 4637 South Danville Bypass from agricultural to light industrial to allow a contracting business (to be operated from Timberton Properties LLC/Dawson Horkey) to relocate and potentially expand; court added conditions barring manufacturing, distillery or brewery uses and a magistrate recused for a conflict.
Boyle County Fiscal Court voted to rezone a roughly 5‑acre parcel at 4637 South Danville Bypass from agricultural designation to light industrial after a planning commission public hearing and recommendation.
Planning staff told the court the rezone would allow Dawson Horkey to relocate operations from a flood‑plain site and provide room for a future building of up to about 8,000 square feet if needed. The applicant is recorded in the meeting as Timberton Properties LLC, which will hold title while members associated with Dawson Horkey will operate the business.
The planning commission recommended approval and staff asked the court to include the commission’s summary of evidence and testimony in the record. Staff and commissioners noted the parcel’s buffers to adjoining properties and that the intended contracting use is consistent with the county’s comprehensive plan economic-development goals. The recommendation explicitly conditions approval to prohibit manufacturing and the operation of a distillery or brewery on the rezoned site.
One magistrate recused themself from the vote, stating an employer relationship with the applicant; the rezoning motion carried by voice vote. The planning office will record the conditions of approval in the ordinance and file the summary of evidence and testimony from the public hearing.
