Council hears public testimony on second Sandridge Road parcel annexation and interim R-1 zoning
Summary
Council heard staff report and held the public hearing on Ordinance 9 2 8 5 to set interim R-1 zoning for roughly 2.92 acres at 14618 Sandridge Road; planning commission recommended R-1 and no public testimony or correspondence was received.
The Bowling Green City Council held a public hearing on Ordinance 9 2 8 5 to establish interim R-1 low-density residential zoning for approximately 2.92 acres at 14618 Sandridge Road, a parcel recently annexed to the city at the request of JTMG Holdings Limited.
Planning Director Heather Sailor reported the planning commission reviewed the petition on May 7 and recommended R-1 zoning. Sailor provided the R-1 standards, a map showing the parcel's location (one parcel over from the address discussed earlier and contiguous to Stone Ridge to the north), and noted that a house is under construction on the site. The petitioner listed on the agenda is JTMG Holdings Limited with Anthony Wolf as agent; staff said no petitioner or agent appeared and no written correspondence had been received.
No members of the public addressed the committee, and council members present had no substantive questions during the hearing. The public hearing concluded and the meeting took a short break before the 7:00 p.m. city council meeting; the transcript shows no recorded council vote on Ordinance 9 2 8 5 during the public-hearing segment.
Why it matters: Interim zoning defines permitted and conditional uses for newly annexed parcels while a jurisdiction finalizes long-term zoning and can affect how soon and under what rules construction may proceed.
