Commission raises zoning question over Hard Truth Hills building; staff says use requires rezoning
Summary
Commissioners discussed a recently built structure by Hard Truth Hills that sits outside the owner’s commercially zoned property; staff said construction alone is not a violation but operating the building commercially would require rezoning.
Commissioners questioned whether a building constructed by Hard Truth Hills is compliant with county zoning, with staff responding that the construction itself is not a violation but that commercial use would require rezoning before operation.
A commissioner said they had spoken with Chris Curtin, who is associated with Hard Truth Hills and Big Woods Pizza, and reported the parcel had been built on under the belief it was commercially zoned. Staff explained the parcel sits just over the line from the property that is zoned general business, and the owner needs to pursue rezoning before using the building for commercial purposes.
"Is there a compliance issue here with this?" a commissioner asked. Staff replied, "If they were using it, there would be," clarifying the enforcement distinction between construction and subsequent use. The commission did not record any enforcement action at the meeting; the discussion focused on next steps and whether rezoning or BZA relief would be pursued.
