Summary

The commission approved a rezone for ~3 acres at 367 Chandler Road to R-1, following staff recommendations, and denied the requested lot-width and road-frontage variance; applicants said the overall parcel is 8.95 acres and they plan no additional development beyond the rezoned lot.

The Planning Commission voted to approve the future land-use amendment and rezone request for 367 Chandler Road (rezone 2024-025) and simultaneously denied a variance for lot width and minimum road frontage.

Applicant representatives said the total parcel is 8.95 acres and that the three-acre portion requested for rezoning would be used to retain the existing R-1 lot while keeping the remainder as agricultural. Staff and commissioners discussed a 25-foot access strip shown on the plans that provides access to the back of the parcel; staff noted the municipality's minimum road frontage standard is 50 feet and that the applicant requested relief related to lot width and frontage. Commissioner Lehi McDougall moved to follow staff recommendations (approve the future land-use amendment and rezone, deny the variance); the motion was seconded and passed.

The commission's action implements staff recommendations; the matter will proceed to the Board of Commissioners for final consideration on Oct. 8 as part of the usual review process.
