Board approves rezoning for outdoor boat and RV storage with binding conditions after neighbor concerns

Donald and Stacy Clark asked the board to rezone a parcel from BU1 to BU2 to permit outdoor boat and RV storage. Nearby residents expressed conditional support for the change only if a robust binding development plan and vegetative buffer were required; some neighbors also flagged pending code‑enforcement items and the presence of asphalt millings that they said could harm groundwater.

One nearby landowner described how millings were brought in during a county contractor’s use of the property and argued the county benefited; another resident urged the board to require removal or remediation. The applicant committed on the record to limit the property to boat and RV storage under the BDP. The board approved the rezoning unanimously with the BDP limiting uses to outdoor storage and requiring buffer and fencing conditions to be finalized in the BDP.
