Board previews rezoning request for long‑standing car dealership; public hearing set for next month
Summary
Staff briefed the board on a rezoning request for the property listed as tax map 361401140A to allow expansion of an existing car dealership; planning commission recommended approval and the request will proceed to a public hearing next month; board asked staff to check whether a commercial zone could accommodate the owner's expansion while limiting other industrial uses.
County staff described a rezoning request for the property identified in staff materials as tax map 361401140A (the packet listed "114.2 acres and 2.46") currently zoned A2 and used as a car dealership. The applicant seeks an I (industrial) zoning designation to expand operations and add larger sales and service facilities.
Staff said the planning commission reviewed the request and recommended approval with no conditions. Board members noted the property has been used as a dealership for many years and asked staff to confirm how long it has operated under past owners. Several supervisors urged staff to identify whether a B1 or other commercial zoning category could allow the proposed expansion while restricting future industrial uses that an I district would permit. "If it goes to the I zoning designation then that opens it up to...other things," one supervisor said, urging the packet for the July meeting to include the permitted uses in the I district.
What happens next: the rezoning will be scheduled for a public hearing and possible adoption at the board's next regular meeting.
