The board heard a first reading of a rezoning petition for a parcel at 209 Shipyard Road. Petitioner Robert McCaucher requested rezoning from R‑1E (one‑family residential) to B‑1E (business limited) to bring an existing nonconforming landscape business into zoning compliance.
The Metropolitan Planning Commission’s file number was listed as Z‑0825‑000573 with PIN 1051702015; the MPC recommended alternate approval for District 1. No members of the public were present to speak on the item during the meeting, and commissioners indicated they would take the petition up at the second reading.
Why it matters: Rezoning would change the allowable uses on the parcel and formalize a business operation currently nonconforming under residential zoning.
Ending: The matter remains pending; the board scheduled the item for consideration at the second reading.
