Fiscal Court approves three zoning changes recommended by planning commission
Summary
The court unanimously approved zoning map amendments for properties owned by the Herndons, Brian Yates (via Marshelia McAllister), and David & Linda Koger following planning commission recommendations; motions carried by roll-call vote.
Spencer County Fiscal Court approved three zoning amendments during its Aug. 3, 2020 meeting after receiving second‑reading recommendations from the planning commission.
On motion by Esq. Beaverson and second by Esq. Brewer, the court approved the application of Timothy and Tonya Herndon to rezone two tracts (Tract 4A — 1.012 acres; Amended Tract 4 — 3.774 acres on Van Buren Road) from AG‑2 (agricultural) to R‑1 (residential) based on planning commission findings. The court likewise approved, on a motion by Esq. Beaverson and second by Esq. Brewer, zoning adjustments for Marshelia McAllister on behalf of Brian Yates (AG‑1 to AG‑2 on 8.01 acres and AG‑1 to R‑1 on 2.79 acres at 5715 Briar Ridge Road). A third unanimous motion (Esq. J. Moody, second Esq. M. Moody) approved the Koger application (AG‑1 to AG‑2 on 8.22 acres; AG‑1 to R‑1 on 0.487 acres; AG‑1 to R‑3 on 1.293 acres at 3146 Bloomfield Road), each motion carried by roll‑call vote with all members voting "aye."
The planning commission's recommendations and findings of fact were entered into the record and the clerk attested to the ordinances' passage. The clerk and Judge signed the notices required for second-reading approvals.
Why it matters: The zoning amendments change allowable land uses and will affect parcel development options and permitting. The unanimous votes indicate the court accepted the planning commission's findings and the landowners' requested changes.
What’s next: The clerk will record the ordinance amendments and update county zoning maps and permit processes to reflect the new designations.
