Commission backs rezoning of former church parcel to agricultural
Summary
The commission recommended approval of rezoning a one‑acre former church parcel from public use to agricultural after the owner said rezoning would streamline use as a residence; the recommendation will go to the county commissioners on Aug. 25.
The planning commission voted to recommend approval of rezoning a one‑acre parcel that formerly contained a small church from public use to agricultural (case Z202614).
Owner Ricardo Ploge told the commission he purchased the property in 2021 and converted the interior for residential use. "I purchased it in 2021 off of Kevin Shepherd," Ploge said, and described the rezoning as a cleanup to avoid repeated hearings for routine changes. Commissioners noted the building is small for contemporary church use and that the change would formalize residential occupancy.
A commissioner moved to recommend approval, a colleague seconded, and the board voted in favor. Staff will forward a positive recommendation to the county commissioners at the scheduled Aug. 25 meeting.
The approval is a recommendation to the county commissioners; final rezoning requires their action.
