Summary

The zoning board recommended approval without objection of Santa Rosa County’s request to rezone 6.5 acres at 4020 Dawson Road from residential to M2 (general industrial) to expand county property near the landfill for monitoring wells and related uses.

Santa Rosa County staff presented a county-initiated request on Jan. 8 to rezone about 6.5 acres at 4020 Dawson Road in Milton from residential subdivision (R1M) to M2 general industrial and to amend the future land-use designation to industrial. County environmental staff said the parcel was acquired to buffer and support county landfill operations and to install monitoring wells.

A county representative told the board that the environmental department has worked with neighbors and emphasized the site would not directly expand landfill operations but would allow monitoring and operations necessary for the county-maintained facility. Board members recommended approval without objection; the recommendation moves to the Board of County Commissioners on Jan. 22 for final action.
