Commission recommends commercial rezoning near Eden interchange
Summary
The Planning & Zoning Commission unanimously recommended that the Board of County Commissioners rezone roughly 22.4 acres near the Eden interchange from Agriculture to Commercial General, citing proximity to the interstate, adjacent commercial uses, and Comprehensive Plan guidance.
The Commission voted unanimously March 30 to recommend approval of Gerald Martens’s application to rezone a 22.401‑acre parcel near 1112 E 100 S from A1 (Agriculture) to CG (Commercial General). Commissioners cited the parcel’s adjacency to the interstate, nearby commercial uses including the Amber Inn, and the County’s Future Land Use guidance that shows part of the parcel for commercial uses.
Martens argued the location is a natural fit for commercial development because of improved interchange access, Kimberly Road improvements and planned bridge work. “The proposed rezone is in line with the Comprehensive Plan,” he said. Staff corrected a GIS zoning error during the review and supplied maps showing contiguous CG zoning on an adjacent parcel’s eastern third (Exhibit S12). The Commission’s recommendation will be forwarded to the Board of County Commissioners for final action.
