Summary

Planning staff presented a request to rezone a roughly 0.22-acre portion of 1700 Peach Orchard Road to General Commercial to allow a Garden Center Nursery; the Planning Commission recommended approval and the council unanimously granted first reading.

Planning staff member Helen Roodman presented RZ-22-13, a request by property owner Gayle Langan to rezone approximately 0.22 acres (bringing the total site to about 0.96 acres) of TMS #133-15-02-036 at 1700 Peach Orchard Road from Agricultural Conservation (AC) to General Commercial (GC). Roodman said the applicant "indicated her intent is to establish a Garden Center Nursery (SIC 526) on the property" and noted the property lies within the Military Protection Area and is generally consistent with Sumter County's 2040 Comprehensive Plan. The Planning Commission recommended approval.
