Commissioners approve Lynnco Acres rezoning to Suburban Neighborhood
Summary
The Board adopted Ordinance #2026-09 to rezone four Lynnco Acres parcels to Suburban Neighborhood, allowing development of roughly 0.6-acre lots and aligning with nearby subdivisions and utility availability.
The Jefferson County Board of Commissioners voted to adopt Ordinance #2026-09, approving a zone map amendment for Lynnco Acres (ZON26-0002) to change four parcels from Residential-One to Suburban Neighborhood.
Planner Jenna Huennekens and Milton Ollerton presented the proposal, explaining the change would permit development of approximately 0.6-acre lots that are consistent with surrounding subdivisions and existing utility infrastructure. Commissioner Young moved for adoption, Commissioner Clark seconded, and the Board recorded unanimous 'aye' votes.
Why it matters: the rezoning clears the way for smaller suburban-lot development near municipal boundaries where utility access exists, shaping future land use and potential residential growth in the area. The decision followed the Planning Department presentation and no public opposition was recorded at the hearing.
What’s next: property owners and developers will proceed under the Suburban Neighborhood zoning rules and any required permits and infrastructure approvals.
