Franklin County commission opens public hearing on rezoning request to change A to R-2

The Franklin County Commission convened in regular session at 7:00 p.m. on March 18, 2024, in Winchester and opened a public hearing on a rezoning request to change property from A (Agricultural) to R-2 (Residential-2). County Clerk Tina Sanders announced the agenda item during the public-hearing portion of the meeting.

The meeting record shows the rezoning item on the agenda but the supplied transcript segments do not contain any public testimony, staff presentation, motions, or a recorded vote related to the rezoning. The transcript indicates only that the rezoning from A to R-2 was listed for the public hearing; details about the applicant, parcel identification, planning staff recommendations, conditions, or any speakers for or against the change are not specified in the available excerpts.

At the start of the session, Sheriff Tim Fuller led the pledge of allegiance and Commissioner Bruce McMillan gave the invocation; County Clerk Tina Sanders recorded the minutes and confirmed that a quorum was present (14 commissioners present, 2 absent). The transcript identifies those present by name and district but does not attribute statements about the rezoning to any specific commissioner or member of the public.

Because the supplied transcript is limited to the opening, roll call, and the hearing agenda entry, the next procedural steps on this rezoning — whether public comment occurred, whether staff provided analysis, and whether the commission moved to a vote or continued the hearing — are not recorded in the provided segments. Those outcomes are therefore not specified here.
