Board approves two rezoning requests for residential infill and commercial consolidation
Summary
The board approved (1) a rezoning of a 1.5-acre parcel from A1 to RS6 to allow a one-time split so the applicant’s son could build a home, and (2) a minor commercial upzoning from CL to CG for a 1.04-acre parcel on State Road 510 to consolidate ownership and align zoning with adjacent CG holdings.
The Board of County Commissioners voted Dec. 9 to approve two quasi-judicial rezoning requests presented by county planning staff.
Patrick Murphy, chief of long-range planning, recommended approval of a rezoning for an approximately 1.5-acre parcel from A1 (agriculture) to RS6 (residential up to 6 units per acre). Murphy said the parcel’s future land-use designation is M1 (medium residential) and RS6 best implements that designation. The applicant told staff the intent is a one-time split to allow a son to build a house; staff and planning found the requested RS6 zoning consistent with the county comprehensive plan. Commissioners approved the rezoning by motion.
Murphy also presented a request from Shereen 5 10 LLC to rezone about 1.04 acres at 4650 State Road 510 from CL (limited commercial) to CG (general commercial). Murphy said CG aligns with the parcel's CI land-use designation and is consistent with surrounding commercial redevelopment. The planning commission recommended unanimous approval and the board voted to approve the rezoning; the applicant’s representative said the change consolidates the owner’s parcels to facilitate future marketing and development.
Public comments at the residential rezoning asked whether RS6 permits mobile-home parks; staff replied RS6 does not allow mobile-home parks and that subdivision of the 1.5-acre parcel into many lots would be infeasible under county rules. Commissioners noted the small parcel size and the county’s review process for any future site plan or traffic impacts.
