3 issues in zoning with medium priority
Vehicle sales lot special exception on US Highway 441 N
A new used car dealership is coming to 4340 US Highway 441 North in a Heavy Commercial zone. The board added conditions on repairs, Sunday operations, and screening to protect the churches and neighbors nearby.
Zoning Change for Truck Repair Business
The county approved rezoning a property on NE 110th Street from Residential Mixed to Neighborhood Commercial-2 to allow a truck repair business.
Heavy Commercial Rezoning on State Road 710
The county considered rezoning a small 2.25-acre parcel on State Road 710 from agricultural to heavy commercial. Staff noted that since the property sits in a commercial activity center next to other commercial and industrial uses, a zoning change makes sense.
