Grant County approves rezoning for Tyrone Saunders to R3 after public hearing
Summary
After a public hearing Dec. 1, the Grant County Area Plan Commission approved docket 22-25 to change one parcel owned by Tyrone Saunders from general business to R3 residential; the vote followed discussion about GIS updates and the petitioner’s mortgage-related timing problem.
The Grant County Area Plan Commission voted Dec. 1 to approve rezoning docket 22-25, allowing an additional parcel owned by petitioner Tyrone Saunders to change from general business to R3 residential.
Saunders told the commission he had expected both parcels to be rezoned earlier and that a miscommunication left one parcel designated commercial. He said that left him unable to merge the parcels for mortgage purposes: "I would still like to have that commercial turned to residential," Saunders said, explaining that a lender would not allow the refinance while one parcel remained commercial.
Staff told the commission the official office record shows the zoning change, but the public GIS display has not been updated because staff training on the GIS tool is still pending. Commissioners and staff affirmed the parcel is R3 in the official files and that the assessor’s office had verified records with the mortgage company.
A motion to approve the rezoning was moved (Mr. Odell) and seconded (Mr. Pearson). The board recorded a roll call and the chair declared the motion passed.
The transcript records multiple 'Yes' responses during roll call; the chair declared "Motion passes." The record does not supply a complete, numbered tally or an explicit effective date for the zoning change beyond the commission approval.
Next steps discussed included updating the public GIS map once staff have completed training so the online record matches the office files.
