Supervisors approve rezoning of 6-acre Tama Road parcel for construction-equipment storage
Summary
The board approved a zoning ordinance amendment to rezone a roughly 6-acre parcel off Tama Road from agricultural to industrial to regularize an existing construction equipment storage yard; the zoning commission had recommended approval and the board waived the third reading and adopted the amendment.
Des Moines County supervisors on Nov. 4 approved a zoning amendment to reclassify about 6 acres off Tama Road (a portion recently de‑annexed from the nearby city) from agricultural to industrial to accommodate an existing construction equipment storage yard.
Planning staff summarized that the zoning commission had recommended approval earlier in the year. The property contains equipment that has been operating under prior jurisdictional arrangements; the rezoning will regularize the land use under county zoning rules. The board held a second reading and voted to approve the amendment and waive the third reading.
The motion carried with affirmative votes from the supervisors present. Planning staff said they had not received additional public comment since the first reading and that the auditor’s office also had no new comments.
The action changes the official zoning map for the identified parcels and is intended to ensure compliance going forward for the storage yard use. The board did not record any conditions or amendments to the approval during the meeting.
