4. Public Hearings
A. Second reading of Ordinance No. 1296 - Amending Chapter 3, A-1: Agricultural District, Section 3.03, Lot and Yard Regulations of Appendix A, 2012 Joint Zoning Regulations for Clay County and the City of Vermillion
Mayor Powell stated that this was advertised as a joint City and County public hearing to consider the amendment to the Joint Zoning regulation and opened the hearing.
Cynthia Aden, County Zoning Officer, reported that the entities met in a joint session on December 11, 2012 to consider a zone change request from Mr. Jahn to rezone his property from A-1 to Rural Residential. This would allow Mr. Jahn to split his 2 acre lot into two one acre lots in order to construct a new home. At that time, the joint boards tabled action on the zone change request pending a report from the two Planning Commissions on a proposed amendment to change the minimum lot size within the A-1 district. The Joint Planning Commissions met on February 11, 2013 and forwarded a unanimous recommendation to amend the ordinance and reduce the minimum lot size within the A-1 district. Cynthia stated that the proposed amendment will reduce the minimum lot size within the A-1 district from the current 2 acres to 1 acre. This will allow property owners to divide their land for small-scale residential uses. In Mr. Jahn's case, this would allow him to replat his land and apply for a conditional use permit to construct a new single-family dwelling. In order to avoid scattered development, the joint zoning ordinance already has provisions for density restrictions in the A-1 District, which is three building eligibilities per _ section. Discussion followed on the ordinance.
