Blanchard Machinery rezoning approved to expand site and parking
Summary
Blanchard Machinery requested rezoning of 9.56 acres from LI/CFA to RE4 to expand parking and display area for an operation on Chestnut Road; staff said the business has operated on the property since 2006 and recommended approval, which the commission granted.
Staff presented a rezoning request to reclassify 9.56 acres for Blanchard Machinery’s expansion, noting the business has been on-site since 2006 and is seeking additional parking/display area that requires bringing the site into compliance with current zoning.
An applicant representative explained the split-zoning challenge and the need to rezone the CFA portion so the northern area could be paved and used for parking; the representative said losing the older LI designation requires moving to an RE designation for the existing use. Public input was opened and closed with no speakers; a motion to approve the rezoning was made, seconded and carried after staff recommended approval.
The applicant and staff will proceed with site-plan and permit steps required to implement the expanded parking and display area.
