Madison County board approves rezoning for portion of Shelby Road parcel after mixed public comment
Summary
The Madison County Board of Supervisors on April 1 approved rezoning about 24 acres of a 67.7-acre parcel on Shelby Road to allow future home sites, following a planning commission recommendation and public testimony about runoff, traffic and rural character.
The Madison County Board of Supervisors voted April 1 to approve a rezoning request that will convert about 24 acres of a 67.7-acre parcel on Shelby Road from agricultural to a split A‑1/R‑1 zone, clearing the way for future home sites on the portion in question.
The parcel, owned by Bella Rain LLC and presented by an applicant representative, was the subject of hours of discussion and public comment at a joint meeting of the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors. Planning staff told the bodies the request would permit the applicant to create residential lots on the front 24 acres; in R‑1 zoning the number of lots is constrained mainly by access to public water and sewer, but without utilities staff estimated up to 14–15 lots might be possible in theory and the applicant said he expects to build as many as nine homes on the rezoned portion.
