Commission recommends rezoning 22 acres near West Corinne to allow five-acre rural lots
Summary
Box Elder County Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of a request to rezone about 22.07 acres from A-20 to RR-5 in the West Corinne/Bear River area to allow five-acre rural residential lots. The recommendation goes to the County Commission with standard conditions.
The Box Elder County Planning Commission on May 21 voted unanimously to forward a recommendation to the County Commission to rezone approximately 22.07 acres (part of parcel 04-064-0030) from A-20 (20-acre minimum) to RR-5 (5-acre minimum) in the West Corinne/Bear River area.
Planning staff framed the request against the Box Elder County General Plan and the West Corinne community vision, which emphasizes maintaining agricultural heritage while allowing some flexible rural lot sizes. Staff noted surrounding land use is primarily agricultural and that Procter & Gamble’s manufacturing site lies about a mile to the west across the railroad.
Applicant representative Kim Braegger told the commission he does not yet own the entire parcel but has a letter from the owner and plans to acquire it; he said he envisions subdividing the acreage so his four children can build homes. “He has four kids who would eventually like to build homes on those lots and thinks it is a good idea to have five acre lots rather than half acre lots,” the transcript records. After closing the public hearing, Commissioner Jared Holmgren moved to forward a recommendation of approval; Commissioner Jed Pugsley seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
The commission attached standard conditions including compliance with Section 2-2-080 (Zoning Map and Text Amendments), Article 5 of the Land Use Code, and all applicable laws and permits. The County Commission will consider the recommendation at its next available hearing.
