Background:
These parcels consist of approximately 200 acres of land at the northwest corner of County Roads 325 and 346. The Preservation Land use designation on these parcels is the result of a mapping error that occurred in the early 2000’s. The land use change, if approved, will enable owners of these parcels to pull building permits consistent with the Agricultural zoning district on these parcels as well as pursue all uses permitted under the Rural/Agriculture land use classification.
