Commission adopts Ordinance #657 to rezone Snowville-area parcels to MG-EX for gravel operations
Summary
The Commission approved Ordinance #657 to rezone about 861 acres near Snowville from unzoned to MG-EX (Mining, Quarry, Sand & Gravel Excavation Zone), with a Planning Commission stipulation limiting access to exit 12/interstate.
Community Development Director Scott Lyons outlined a rezone application covering approximately 861.23 acres near Snowville that would change land from unzoned to MG-EX to permit a gravel mining operation. The Planning Commission held a public hearing and recommended approval, asking as a condition of any future conditional use permit that access be limited to Interstate Exit 12 and the interstate frontage road because local county roads are not in a condition to handle heavy loads.
Commissioner Perry moved to approve Ordinance #657 with Planning Commission stipulations. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Bingham and carried unanimously by roll-call vote (Vincent, Bingham, Perry — all Yea). The ordinance directs a zoning-map amendment and becomes effective 15 days after passage; the adopted ordinance text is recorded in county records.
