Summary

The commission approved a rezoning request that would allow a minor subdivision into three 1‑acre lots, with commissioners noting a minor adjustment needed for one lot’s width during later subdivision review.

The Planning & Zoning Commission approved a rezoning request by petitioner and owner Rudolph Stahl to change 3.09 acres on Buds Lane from R‑1 (rural residential) to L‑1 (large‑lot residential), enabling the owner to apply for a minor subdivision into three 1‑acre lots.

Staff explained the minimum lot area and width requirements for L‑1 and noted one proposed lot on the preliminary resubdivision plat was short by about 25 feet in width. Petitioner Carl Stahl told the commission the family has lived in the area for decades and asked that the change enable keeping family land together. Commissioner Robert moved to approve while flagging the lot‑width issue for planning staff to address during the subdivision stage; the motion carried.

The approval allows the petitioner to proceed to the minor‑subdivision stage; staff and petitioner discussed whether a waiver or adjustment will be necessary during that subsequent process.
