New Titusville resident seeks agricultural rezoning for 7.5‑acre property; offers to assist city on agriculture zoning
Summary
Justin Dunlap told the commission he purchased 7.5 acres near North Singleton and Parish and asked the city to expedite rezoning from Residential‑1 to a general agricultural use so he can run a farm, host educational events and qualify for USDA loans.
At the start of the meeting’s petitions and requests period, Justin Dunlap introduced himself as a recent arrival to the area and said he purchased 7.5 acres near North Singleton and Parish. He said he plans an agricultural operation and requested rezoning from Residential‑1 to a general agricultural use to accommodate farm activities and educational programming.
Dunlap asked whether the rezoning hearing, currently scheduled for October–December, could be accelerated; staff confirmed the city has a complete application and will bring it forward when ready. He said farming in the city is currently constrained by zoning language and offered to help city staff or a subcommittee review documents so Titusville can better accommodate agriculture in its land‑use code. Commissioners thanked him and indicated interest in reviewing the application when it is formally scheduled.
