Franklin County approves rezoning and tower permit requests
Summary
The county commission approved three land‑use items: rezoning application 2508‑48 (6 acres at 3393 Reno Road), special use permit 2511‑0011 for a 305‑foot tower at 3751 Nevada Road, and rezoning application 2510‑0058 (15.9 acres near Rock Creek); planning staff recommended approval on all items.
Franklin County commissioners approved a set of land‑use items including two rezoning applications and one special use permit.
Planning staff presented rezoning application 2508‑48 for 3393 Reno Road to change 6 acres to the RE district to fund construction of a single‑family dwelling; staff and the planning commission recommended approval and the board voted in favor.
The commission also approved a special use permit (2511‑0011) for a 305‑foot communications tower at 3751 Nevada Road. Staff outlined conditions including a fenced 70‑by‑70 base area, FAA‑compliant lighting, FCC compliance for communications equipment, required parking, and a one‑year initiation clause that will void the permit if not used within a year. Planning staff described the proposed tower as a self‑supporting structure (not guyed) and noted setbacks and other safety conditions.
Finally, the board approved rezoning application 2510‑0058 (commonly known as 3482 Rock Creek) to rezone 15.9 acres to RE and retain the remaining acreage as A1 for banking and loan purposes; staff and the planning commission recommended approval.
All three items were presented by planning staff, carried recommendations from the planning commission, and passed by unanimous votes of the commissioners present. Staff will proceed with issuing permit documents and any required conditions noted in the staff reports.
