The owner, Mr. Bundy, has recently resubdivided some of his adjacent properties into one (1) lot. Mr. Bundy’s resubdivision was approved by the Planning Commission on June 13, 2017, and by the City Council on June 20, 2017, via Resolution 2622; the plat for the lot consolidation was recorded on June 21, 2017. Concurrent with his resubdivision and subsequent lot consolidation, Mr. Bundy rezoned his property from R-2, Single and Two Family Residential to A, Agricultural. The rezone request was approved by the Planning Commission on April 25, 2017, and by City Council via Ordinance 3923 on June 6, 2017. Additionally, a portion of what is now Lot 1 of the Dave Bundy Addition (previously known as a portion of Lot 1, Block 5, Northside Addition) is in the process of being rezoned from M-H, Mobile Home District to A, Agricultural District. That rezoning request was approved by the Planning Commission on June 13, 2017, and the first reading was approved by City Council July 5, 2017.
Currently there is a 10 (ten) foot portion of Mr. Bundy’s property, running along the north lot line of what is now Lot 1 of the Dave Bundy Addition, that was included in the recent resubdivision but not included in the recent rezoning. On Mr. Bundy’s behalf, the City is proposing to rezone that ten (10) strip of land so that all of Mr. Bundy’s recently rezoned and resubdivided property will have contiguous zoning, and all be zoned as A, Agricultural.
Pursuant to Section 12 of the City of Gillette’s Zoning Ordinance, a Zoning Map Amendment shall not be approved except to:
(1) Correct an obvious error, or
(2) Recognize changing conditions in the City
The proposal to rezone a ten (10) foot portion along the north side of Lot 1 of the Dave Bundy Addition meets both criteria as the conditions of Mr. Bundy’s property have changed and it would be erroneous to leave a ten (10) foot strip of land zoned as R-2, Single and Two Family Residential within a 3.39-acre lot entirely zoned as A, Agricultural. The proposed Zoning Map Amendment is a “housekeeping task” that has been initiated by the City of Gillette to update our existing zoning districts to reflect the actual use of the property and to correct an obvious error as allowed by the Zoning Ordinance. |
