Council moves forward with rezoning to allow agricultural use on 13‑acre Blair parcel (Ordinance 855)
Summary
On second reading council considered Ordinance 855 to rezone a 13‑acre parcel in Blair (Tax ID 12‑00‑01‑035) from R1 to RD1 to permit agricultural use; the Planning Commission recommended approval and council prepared to vote with an 'all in favor' recorded as 6.
Council heard a second reading of Ordinance 855, a request to amend the Fairfield County Land Management Ordinance and the zoning map to reclassify a roughly 13‑acre parcel (Tax ID 12‑00‑01‑035, 2826 State Highway 250, Blair) from R1 (single‑family residential) to RD1 (rural residential) to allow agricultural operations. Staff explained the property owner seeks an agricultural exemption and to align the parcel with adjacent agricultural uses. The Planning Commission approved the rezoning request prior to council consideration.
Council asked several clarifying questions about location and acreage; staff responded that the parcel is not lakefront, lies off Highway 215 and totals about 13 acres. No formal opposition or public commenters signed up during the public hearing. Following discussion the council prepared to vote; the transcript records the voice vote as all in favor (record shows 6).
