Council Considers Rezoning: Council to Vote on Rezoning of All Land in Central
Central’s City Council will consider Tuesday whether to rezone all property in Central as the next step in the Master Plan process begun back in 2007.
A Council yes vote would cause all land in Central to be classified under the new Zoning Districts created in January. The result of the rezoning would be to place the majority of subdivision and commercial property in zones very similar to their current classifications.
Under the proposed rezoning most of Central’s rural property would be changed from Rural to Rural/Agricultural. The primary difference between these two classifications is that Rural/Agricultural allows one home per 3 acres as opposed to the one home per acre now permitted.
City officials have pointed out that property owners can, in the future, apply to have their property zoned residential in order to remove the 3 acre limitation, subject to approval of the City Council. Properties of less than three acres will be “Grandfathered In” and allowed to build one home on any existing lot.
This Council Meeting will be held Tuesday, May 27th, at 6PM at Kristenwood. Members of the public will have an opportunity to speak in favor of or in opposition to the proposed ordinance.
