Mercer County rezones Rivoli Township parcel to R‑1 residential

Mercer County's board voted 6-0 Sept. 8 to approve Ordinance 8-26, reclassifying a 2.10-acre parcel (PIN 12-12-17-100-001) in Rivoli Township from AG‑1 agriculture to R‑1 residential. The motion to approve was made by Bill Henry and seconded by Tim Arbet. The board recorded the Zoning Board of Appeals report and a survey prepared by a licensed land surveyor in the county record.

Meeting materials include the ordinance language stating the parcel "be and it is hereby re-zoned and reclassified to R-1 Residential District." The zoning board's findings listed in the record cite mixed agricultural and small-tract residential development in the area and that the parcel is suitable for R‑1 without impairing valuable agricultural land.
