Commission recommends rezoning two Silver Springs parcels to suburban residential
Loading...
Summary
The planning commission voted to forward a recommendation to the Board of County Commissioners to rezone two Silver Springs parcels from legacy C-2 commercial to SR-1 suburban residential (one-half acre minimum), bringing zoning into alignment with the 2020 master plan.
The Lyon County Planning Commission voted Jan. 13 to forward a recommendation to the Board of County Commissioners approving a zoning map amendment for two parcels in Silver Springs owned by Outpost Land Company LLC. Senior planner Louis Cariola said the request would change the zoning from C-2 general commercial (legacy Title 10) to SR-1 suburban residential (one-half acre minimum), aligning the parcels at 3845 and 3855 Elm Street with the 2020 master plan’s suburban residential designation.
Cariola noted the parcels are approximately 0.51 acres each per the county assessor, that 3845 Elm has a nonhabitable manufactured home and outbuilding while 3855 Elm lacks direct roadway access and would require an easement for future development. He told commissioners that zone changes are not conditionable and that the applicant intends single-family residences after rezoning.
Commissioners asked about mobile versus manufactured home allowances under county code; Cariola clarified that mobile homes (transient) and manufactured homes (HUD-constructed, permanent when affixed) are treated differently and that permitted housing types depend on the zoning and applicable standards. After questions, a motion to recommend approval of the rezoning to the Board was made, seconded and carried by voice vote.
