Commission backs rezoning and lot‑width variance for Bell estate parcel
Summary
The commission recommended rezoning two acres of a William Howard Bell life‑estate parcel to agricultural residential and approved an accompanying lot‑width variance to allow residential use of the subdivided tract.
The Planning Commission voted to recommend rezoning two acres of a parcel owned by the William Howard Bell Life Estate from agricultural intensive to agricultural residential and approved an associated lot‑width variance to meet residential subdivision requirements.
Staff said the request would allow the owner to carve out two acres for residential purposes while keeping the remainder in agricultural intensive zoning; staff recommended approval. A speaker in favor said the change would "get the house cut out" while preserving the balance of the land as ag intensive. The commission voted to approve both items and will forward its recommendation to the county commission for final action.
The rezoning and variance will proceed to the county commission as part of the statutory process for land‑use changes.
