Druckman Comprehensive Plan Amendment and Rezoning
A request to downzone 9.2 acres from high-density multiple-household residential (one home per 7,200 square feet) to rural (one home per 4 acres), with matching Comprehensive Plan changes. It would cap future density on that parcel in District 2.
Accessory Dwelling Unit Size Variance on Ramsey Road
Allen LoVette needed relief to keep a 2,000 sq ft ADU on his RU-4 parcel after an unpermitted build-out was discovered during a sale. The board granted it with a condition that everything be brought into code compliance before any ownership change.
Residential Setback Variances for Existing and Proposed Structures
A Sierra Vista homeowner's RV carport sits 13 feet from the west property line where 20 feet is required, and his sheds sit 2 feet from the line. The board approved with storage-only conditions, but one member voted no over the proximity to the neighbor.
Common Area Maintenance Cost Recovery
Staff proposed a law that lets the county clean up abandoned subdivision common areas and place liens on benefited property owners to recover costs.
