Request to rezone 2.92 acres to split two existing homes denied
County commissioners denied the rezone on July 22, finding it was not more appropriate than current zoning and not compatible with the surrounding rural area. The owner wanted to divide the land into two parcels. The Planning and Zoning Commission had voted 4-0 to recommend denial.
