Staff Planner Flanery presented the Staff Report. Ms. Flanery stated that the applicant is requesting the
Rezoning in order to final plat the property and replace a mobile home. She added that Staff
recommends approval of the rezoning. She explained that the minimum lot size for the existing A -O
zoning district is 5 acres, but because of the current configuration of the subject property is just over 3
acres in size, the applicant will not be able to final plat the property without this rezoning. Ms. Flanery
pointed out that the A -OZ zoning district was created for existing non - conforming rural residential
lots, such as this one. The property was annexed in 1995. She reported that the applicant received a
variance to the preliminary platting requirements from the Commission in September of this year.
Chairman Floyd opened the public hearing.
The following spoke in opposition to the rezoning request:
