Workshop clears way for rezoning of long‑standing nonconforming Buck Island Road parcels
Summary
Staff presented a workshop to consider redesignating two Buck Island Road parcels from Suburban Living to Neighborhood Center and rezoning them from Residential General to Light Industrial to regularize commercial nonconforming uses; a local resident supported the change.
The Planning Commission held a workshop on a Town‑initiated application to amend the comprehensive plan and rezone two contiguous parcels on Buck Island Road (totaling about 1.38 acres) from Suburban Living / Residential General to Neighborhood Center / Light Industrial to regularize longstanding commercial nonconforming uses (including a propane company and other small businesses).
Staff said the parcels have been used commercially for decades and the neighborhood plan recommended exploring rezoning to an appropriate commercial district. Public commenter Lisa Salka, a longtime resident, supported the change to allow property owners to pursue modern commercial uses and gain legal confirmation of existing uses. Staff indicated the item will return in August as a public hearing and recommendation to Town Council.
