Blanton Road Rural Subdivision (MRS)
Summary
Neighbors fought a comp plan change allowing six lots on ~20 acres in the Northeast Rural Protection Area, fearing it sets a precedent that unravels rural protections. The board adopted it 3-2, with assurances that Pasco 2050 will block future RES-1 in the rural area.

Impact analysis
Limited — the six-lot cap keeps county service costs low compared with full RES-1 buildout.
The property owner gains two additional lots; buyers get 2.5-plus-acre rural homesites.
Rural residents fear traffic, well impacts, and a domino effect of similar rezonings.
