Supervisors approve land‑use change allowing federal firearms license use on 31.6‑acre parcel north of Vinton
Summary
The board approved a land‑use change for a 31.6‑acre parcel to allow a non‑ag use tied to a federal firearms license; staff said the proposal would operate within existing structures and would not alter surrounding agricultural land use patterns.
Benton County supervisors approved a land‑use change request for a 31.6‑acre parcel north of Vinton that the county’s Land Use Office presented as consistent with the county land‑preservation plan.
County staff described the property location and said the request would use existing structures and not require changes to the dwelling’s septic system or private well. Staff noted required notifications were sent to adjacent property owners and that no public comments were received by the Land Use Office. The agenda described the applicant as Jeff Geiger and his spouse LaDonna Geiger as the property owners.
The applicant, introduced in the agenda as Jeff Geiger, said the operation would not be a storefront and explained that online purchases would be shipped to an FFL (federal firearms licensee) address as required; he said the county’s role would be limited to the land‑use decision. A supervisor moved to approve the land‑use change, a second was recorded and supervisors voted to approve.
