Hillbilly Lot Rezoning Bethany Grubbs, Planner stated the subject property is located within the Jay Gardens subdivision that was originally platted in 1957 with lots sizes averaging 75 foot in width. In 1984, the County rezoned Jay Gardens subdivision to AR-1, a district that required one acre lots, creating non-conforming lots. Since then, parcels have been sold and subdivided in a manner that has not maintained the one acre size and several property owners have sought and received a change in zoning to the RS-4 zoning district to allow for the construction of a single family home because the lots were not buildable. The applicant is requesting change in zoning from AR-1 (Agricultural, Residential - 1 du/acre) to RS - 4 (Residential, Single Family - 4 du/acre). This is to allow for future development of a single family residence. P & Z Regular Meeting Thursday, October 19, 2017 6:00 PM 3 | P a g e The commission discussed background on rezoning, adoption of the Land Development Code and page 3 of the staff report.

A-1 Nursery Rezoning from IX (Industrial, Extraction) to AG-5 (Agricultural-5) Zoning District Linda Pendarvis, Comprehensive Planning Coordinator stated this petition is for a request for a change in zoning from IX (Industrial, Extraction) to AG-5 (Agricultural-1du/5ac) to allow the applicants to develop their property with a single family home and to continue the agricultural nursery operations of a tree farm consistent with the AG-5 zoning district. The subject parcels total 23.2 acres located on the east side of Trowbridge Road near Orange Avenue.
