Commission recommends denial of single‑lot rezone to rural residential
Summary
The Commission recommended the Board of County Commissioners deny Kyle Myers’s request to rezone 3.69 acres from A1 to A2, citing concerns about spot zoning, protection of agricultural land, and that the parcel currently lacks water rights.
The Jerome County Planning & Zoning Commission voted March 30 to recommend denial of Kyle Myers’s application to rezone a 3.69‑acre parcel at 242 W 100 N from A1 (Agriculture) to A2 (Rural Residential). Commissioners who opposed the rezone described it as spot zoning that would benefit a single property owner rather than the public, while one commissioner supported rezoning given neighboring residential parcels.
Myers said the parcel lacks water rights and is not suitable for farming. “The property has no water rights and I can't grow anything, so the best use is housing,” he told the Commission. Neighbors raised concerns about access and the condition of existing manufactured homes in the area. The Commission’s recommendation to deny will be forwarded to the Board of County Commissioners for final action; the Planning & Zoning motion carried 3–1.
