Commissioners approve rezoning of roughly 42–43 acres off Nobbin Road and Industry Drive
Summary
After a public hearing and comments from neighbors and a farmer, the board approved a request by property owners John Lee and associates to rezone three parcels (about 42–43 acres) from industrial/highway business to residential-agriculture (AR-40).
The Oxford Board of Commissioners voted to approve a rezoning request by property owners identified in the meeting as John Lee and associates to change roughly 42–43 acres across three parcels from industrial/highway business to residential-agriculture (AR-40).
During public comment, Ed Compton of 213 Main Street said the area would be better suited to residential uses than industrial, and a relative who farms the land said the owners sought the AR-40 designation to farm and did not have plans to develop. Staff recommended approval of the rezoning.
Commissioner Toby moved to approve the rezoning request and Commissioner Bellis seconded; the motion carried following a voice vote. No detailed development plan or specific proposal was adopted at the meeting; the action changed only the zoning designation as requested.
The public hearing record remains open as part of the item's official file until it was closed and the rezoning adopted by motion at the meeting.
