Glenwood resident asks county to rezone parcels near Malvern, seeks 20‑year tax abatement
Summary
Henry Clark of Glenwood urged the board to change zoning near Malvern from Agricultural-Residential (AR) to commercial (C1/C2) along 315th Street and requested a 20‑year tax abatement for his house and businesses; board members noted annexation and city jurisdiction questions.
During the public comment period, Henry Clark of Glenwood addressed the board about property near Malvern and asked for two actions: rezoning the area (he suggested extending Malvern city zoning along 315th Street) and granting a 20‑year tax abatement for his residence and any businesses he owns.
Clark said, "I'd like you to change its zoning from Malvern City all the way out to 34… It's currently AR," and later requested a "20 year tax abatement for my house and individually, any businesses I own." Board members and Clark discussed whether the parcels are within the City of Malvern’s jurisdiction; Clark said he had spoken with city contact George and that annexation discussions were underway. The chair noted the county had offered choices previously about one‑mile or two‑mile buffers when zoning was set.
No formal action was taken at the meeting; the board asked follow‑up questions about jurisdiction and indicated staff/board members would continue to clarify the appropriate process for rezoning or annexation.
