Commission hears Pigot Properties’ request to rezone agricultural land to R1 for single-family home
Summary
REZ26-04 asked the Plan & Zone Commission to rezone land owned by Pigot Properties from agricultural to R1 single-family residential to allow a single-family home on ~8.75 acres; petitioner Craig Pigot said he will divide the parcel into ~5.25 and ~3.5 acre lots; staff will return with a recommendation May 5.
The Davenport City Plan & Zone Commission on April 14 considered REZ26-04, a rezoning petition by Pigot Properties to convert agricultural land south of River Drive (about 8.75 acres) from AG to R1 (single-family residential) for construction of a single-family home.
Staff clarified the applicant name (the transcript includes inconsistent spellings and staff confirmed "Pigot Properties") and said the future land-use map designates the area as agricultural reserve, which limits residential development. Notices were published in the Quad-City Times and mailed as required; staff reported no written public feedback and recommended the commission hold the public hearing and take up a formal recommendation on May 5.
Petitioner Craig Pigot said he intends to make the parcel personal property and subdivide it: "Putting it into two pieces. The five and a quarter is going to be mine and then I'll sell the three and a half acres." Commissioners confirmed the acreage during the meeting.
With no members of the public present to comment, the commission closed REZ26-04 and scheduled it to return to the Plan & Zone Commission on May 5 for staff’s formal recommendation. The commission did not vote on the rezoning request on April 14.
If the rezoning is approved later in the process, the land would move from agricultural reserve toward low-density residential use; if denied, the agricultural designation and the limitations tied to that designation would remain in place.
