Franklin County Fiscal Court gave first reading Feb. 15 to an ordinance that would rezone an 85.388-acre portion of property located at 690 Duncan Road from Agricultural District (AG) to Industrial General District (IG). The action was announced during the court’s regular meeting at the Fiscal Court Conference Room.

The ordinance was presented as an amendment to the Table of Special Ordinances, Section 1 Zoning Map Changes of the Franklin County Code of Ordinances, and the record identifies the parcels as portions of Tract #2 corresponding to PVA map numbers 87-00-00-031.00 and 87-00-00-031.01. The court’s first reading establishes the matter for further consideration rather than final adoption.

Squire J.W. Blackburn asked for the option to hold an evidentiary hearing on the rezoning, and the court agreed to permit that option. The transcript does not include details on the schedule, testimony to be taken, or the specific criteria to be used in a hearing.

No final vote on the ordinance adoption was recorded in the meeting minutes provided; the first reading and the court’s agreement to consider an evidentiary hearing were the actions taken at this session. Any subsequent hearings or votes will be recorded in future court minutes.
