Warren County approves rezoning for college parcel in Judyville and vacates small Winthrop alley
Summary
The board approved a rezoning ordinance for a college parcel in Judyville and voted to vacate an alley in the Winthrop area; discussion noted that storage units would still require a special exception with potential conditions.
Warren County commissioners approved a rezoning ordinance for a parcel described during the meeting as college property in Judyville and separately voted to vacate a small alley in the Winthrop area.
During discussion commissioners noted the planning board (BZA) had given a favorable recommendation on the rezoning but emphasized that any storage-unit development on the rezoned parcel would still require a special exception and could be limited with conditions. Speaker 9 described the likely form of storage as shipping containers of several sizes and said the BZA could attach conditions on placement and configuration. Speaker 5 moved to follow the area plan and approve the ordinance referenced in the meeting as "ordinance 2026 O105B/2026-0105A," the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote.
Separately, the board moved and approved the vacation of an alley that staff clarified lies in Winthrop; commissioners discussed maintenance responsibilities and the limited public use of the alley before approving the ordinance to vacate it.
Staff noted that a storage facility still would need a special-exception review and that conditions such as alignment, foundation permanence and parcel tax treatment would be addressed at that stage.
