Fiscal Court denies commercial rezoning, accepts planning commission findings and rezones one tract to R‑1
Summary
After a planning commission clarification, Fiscal Court denied a request to rezone two tracts to B‑2 and then amended its action to approve R‑1 zoning to bring the property into compliance; several other first‑reading zoning items were presented.
Spencer County Fiscal Court considered multiple zoning petitions and Planning and Zoning recommendations on Dec. 15.
Planning staff (Ms. Sweazy) presented a motion of clarification from the Planning Commission concerning an application by Norman Hardin to change two tracts from AG‑1 (agricultural) to B‑2 (general commercial). The Planning Commission reported the applicant had not supplied required elements of a development plan (location of buildings, points of ingress/egress, parking, proposed uses, scaled plans) and that Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) needed additional information before deciding on an access permit.
On a motion by Esq. Travis, the Fiscal Court initially moved to accept the planning and zoning recommendation to deny Hardin’s B‑2 application based on the Planning Commission’s findings. The court then approved an amended motion to rezone the property R‑1 (residential) to bring the parcels into compliance; the amendment passed unanimously. Court minutes show the applicant’s paid application fees may be credited toward a future reapplication if the required submittals are later provided.
The court also took first readings on other applications, including requests from Robert Willett & Ashley Stone (AG‑2 to R‑1), Lakeview Boat Storage LLC (AG‑1 to B‑2), Vivacious Living LLC (various residential rezones), Michael and Linda Schneider (AG‑2 to R‑1), and Taylorsville Property, LLC & Shields Construction, LLC (R‑1 to I‑1 industrial). Some items were at first reading only and will return to the court after Planning Commission action.
