Commission hears rezoning request to reclassify small strip for Shaw development; staff says no proffers submitted
Summary
Staff described BZ26-3, a request to rezone a 0.91-acre portion of a 3.551-acre parcel from agricultural to R-1 to merge with adjacent church property and avoid a split zone; staff noted no proffers were submitted and commissioners recommended the applicant consider proffering the lot transfer before rezoning.
The commission reviewed a rezoning request labeled BZ26-3 from Shaw Development at a work session on May 20. Staff described a proposal to rezone a narrow 0.91-acre strip of a larger parcel from agricultural to R-1 so the area could be combined with an adjacent Wesleyan church property.
Staff explained the rezoning would eliminate a potential split-zone parcel after a future lot combination; commissioners expressed concern that if the property transfer did not occur, the county could be left with a portion of parcel rezoned differently from the parent parcel. A commissioner suggested the applicant proffer the transfer or other assurances to reduce that risk.
Staff reported that no proffers were submitted with the rezoning application and asked that the commission request the applicant address the proffer question before the public hearing. Staff said the width of the strip appeared to be roughly 45 feet by the map shown to the commission.
Next steps: The item will be carried forward to the June meeting and will appear in the public packet for the commission's June public hearing where neighbors and interested parties may comment.
