Summary
The Town of West Jefferson Board of Aldermen voted 5-0 to rezone parcel 192967627587 at 50 Short Street from Medium Density Residential to Highway Commercial after a brief public hearing with no speakers.
The Town of West Jefferson Board of Aldermen voted unanimously to rezone parcel 192967627587, the property at 50 Short Street, from Medium Density Residential to Highway Commercial.
Alderwoman Beth Shelton moved to approve the rezoning; Alderman Brian Blanco seconded the motion. Mayor Rusty Barr opened a public hearing on the proposal at 6:02 p.m. and, with no members of the public speaking, closed it at 6:03 p.m. The board then adopted the rezoning and approved a statement of consistency as presented, each by a 5-0 vote.
The rezoning changes the parcel’s future land‑use designation to allow commercial activities along Highway Commercial standards. The motion and the accompanying statement of consistency were made during the board’s regular March 2 meeting and were recorded without further discussion.
The board took no separate action on development plans or site permits at the meeting; any future permit applications for the parcel will be handled through normal staff review and permitting processes.
