Joy Hill, Director, Park County Planning & Zoning – RE: Public Hearing: Zoning of un-Zoned Parcel – Zoning Map Amendment, Site Address 225 HWY 295, Powell, WY
Chairman Fulkerson opened the public hearing.
Ms. Hill stated this parcel of land is located 6.6 miles east of City of Powell and was recently transferred from the State of Wyoming to private ownership and has been vacant for the past decade. The new landowner would like to use the property for industrial purposes. Due to the unique location, history and knowledge of intended use the Commissioners requested the Planning & Zoning Commission consider assigning a zoning district to the parcel that is presently not zoned. At the January 29, 2019 meeting of the P&Z Commission it was recommend that the parcel be zoned GR-35.See P&Z resolution (#2019-3). Legal notices have been met. Public Works, Weed & Pest and State of Wyoming all returned comments, none of which were negative. Ms. Hill stated the map amendment does not single out a parcel of land for a zoning classification that would promote a land use that is incompatible or inconsistent with surrounding areas; is in accordance with County’s Land Use Plan and the amendment substantially addresses a public purpose or need that outweighs any detriment to the rights of neighboring property owners.
Chairman Fulkerson called for public comment. The applicant’s attorney Philip Bott, stated the land should remain industrial. Christine Bekes, Executive Director of PEP, recommends the Commissioners support industrial use and move this business forward.
Commissioner Tilden made a motion to close the public hearing, Commissioner Livingston seconded, and motion carried.
