Board adopts Ordinance 3-18 to rezone Bellevue parcel for The Heights
Summary
The Jackson County Board of Supervisors approved Ordinance 3-18 to rezone a property at 38209 Highway 52 from A-1 (agriculture) to R-1 (residential), allowing the owner to split and sell the house lot; the board waived further readings and adopted the ordinance at its Aug. 19 meeting.
Don Swankert, chair of the Jackson County Board of Supervisors, opened a public hearing Aug. 19 on Ordinance 3-18, a rezoning request affecting a parcel at 38209 Highway 52 in Bellevue. Planner Becca Fluhap told the board the owner seeks to rezone the parcel from A-1 (agriculture) to R-1 (residential) in order to divide the existing lot and sell the portion containing the house while retaining yard area.
Fluhap said the proposed split would create parcels sized about 20,000 square feet — under a two-acre minimum for A-1 — which is why the R-1 designation is proposed. Board members asked whether the change would create a spot zoning issue and discussed access and parcel dimensions. "The 2 parcels will go R-1, and that's why we have to go R-1 because it's 20,000 square foot instead of the minimum for A-1," Fluhap said during the hearing.
With no public objections reported either in person or online, Supervisor Mike Steiner moved to close the hearing; Nan Flago seconded. The board subsequently moved, seconded and voted to approve the rezoning as presented, to suspend Robert’s Rules and waive additional readings, and to adopt the third and final reading of Ordinance 3-18. After each voice vote the chair declared the motion carried. The board did not record a roll-call tally in the minutes beyond the on-the-record vocal assent.
