Commissioners approve four companion land‑use and rezoning ordinances for two property owners
Summary
The Baker County Board approved four companion ordinances (20 25‑37, 20 25‑38, 20 25‑40 and 20 25‑41) that reclassify small parcels for low‑density residential use and permit rezoning to allow family subdivisions for Paul and Susan Davis (7.51 acres) and Travis Hall (2.99 acres). Staff and the LPA recommended approval for each item.
Baker County commissioners approved four companion land‑use and rezoning ordinances during a public hearing, clearing the way for two property owners to subdivide small parcels for family use.
The first pair — Ordinance 20 25‑37 (small‑scale future land‑use amendment) and Ordinance 20 25‑38 (rezoning) — reclassify about 7.51 acres owned by Paul and Susan Davis from Agricultural B to Very Low Density Residential and change zoning from Ag 7.5 to Residential Conventional Mobile Home (RCMH) 2.5. Planning staff said the change would allow the owners to split the property so both they and their child could build on separate lots. Staff and the Local Planning Agency recommended approval.
The second pair — Ordinance 20 25‑40 (small‑scale future land‑use amendment) and Ordinance 20 25‑41 (rezoning) — reclassify approximately 2.99 acres of a 27.66‑acre parcel owned by Travis Hall from Agricultural B to Very Low Density Residential and change zoning from Ag 7.5 to RCMH 2.5. The request covers only the 2.99‑acre portion around an existing mobile home and is designed to keep the remainder of the parcel in agricultural zoning while allowing the mobile‑home lot to be sold or conveyed.
Planning staff (Miss Combs) told the board that both the staff review and the LPA recommended approval of each companion item. No public opposition was recorded during the hearing. Each ordinance was read by title, motioned, seconded and approved by voice vote.
What’s next: staff will record the ordinances and follow up on any subdivision requirements for future splits; any further subdivisions would trigger standard subdivision review and applicable improvements or permitting requirements.
