Rezoning from Agricultural to Rural Residential(RR) Parcel#290101100A00009, Samuel and Joan Kantos,property owners The property in question is located on the north side of the City on County Road 112. The property is about 2.5 acres in size and was zoned Agricultural under the previous Ordinance. This property has not yet been rezoned as a separate public hearing had been requested by the property owner. The proposed new zone for the property would be Rural Residential, following the standards adopted in the new Ordinance.The property owners have an existing conditional use permit to operate a business office in the previous Agricultural zone, and want to ensure that the permit will remain valid and operable under a new zoning classification. There are not any dwellings on this property, but rather this property is home to the old Sibley Town Hall. The Planning Commission is unanimously recommended that Parcel #290101100A00009 be rezoned from Agricultural (old zoning class) to Agriculture (new zoning class) based on the following findings of fact: 1. Rezoning to Agricultural would help preserve the character of the area. 2. The property was zoned Agricultural under the previous Ordinance. 3. The parcel does not have access to city sewer and water and is located outside of the projected utility service area. 4. The proposed zoning of Agriculture would not conflict with adjacent properties. Adjoining properties are zoned Agriculture and Forest Management. 5. The subject property does not meet minimum lot size requirement for the Agricultural zone or any other zoning classification that would be compatible with the area. 6. Rezoning to the Agricultural zone is consistent with the goals of the Comprehensive Plan, which provides for low-density development within this area. 3.
