Local resident secures rezoning to place mobile home on Webster Drive

Danita Moore addressed the Jefferson County Commission during a public hearing on Sept. 10 to request rezoning of a property on Webster Drive from R-3 to R-6 so she could place a mobile home there.

"My name is Danita Moore, and I'm the one that's petitioning for this mobile home to be there," Moore said. She told commissioners the parcel has been in her family for generations and that allowing a mobile home would help attract people back to the area; she described her intent to use the property as a homestead.

County staff said the property is currently zoned R-3 (which allows duplexes and single-family detached homes) and that R-6 would permit a mobile home; staff recommended approval consistent with the comprehensive plan. The public hearing closed with no other speakers signed up and the commission voted to approve the rezoning request by voice vote.

Moore thanked the commission for the opportunity and commissioners welcomed her return to the community. The commission provided no additional conditions on the rezoning in the recorded remarks.
