Summary

The board approved ZA 26‑16 to rezone about 5.13 acres from Residential Sub‑Rural to Rural Agriculture to allow an accessory building to be constructed before a principal dwelling on a larger lot, citing the property's size and rural character.

Dawson County commissioners approved ZA 26‑16, which rezoned approximately 5.13 acres at 1693 Cowart Road from RSR (Residential Sub‑Rural) to RA (Rural Agriculture). Community Development Director Richard Osborne told the board the rezoning is appropriate because the lot is larger than typical RSR parcels and allows an accessory building to be constructed prior to a principal residence in keeping with surrounding rural development patterns.

The applicant was not present at the hearing. The Planning Commission recommended approval and the board voted 3‑0 to approve the rezoning.
