County officials approved a request from Luckey Holdings, LLC to rezone the area from A1 — Agricultural to R2 — Intermediate-density residential. The move paves the way for a future residential subdivision at the southeast corner of Junietta Road and Moody Road.
“(An) R2 district allows all uses that are permitted in R1 and a slightly higher density of use, including up to a fourplex or quadplex structure,” County Planner Bridget Snow said.
Commissioners shared concerns Monday about potential issues with drainage and road access. Currently, Junietta Road does not extend east of the school property and Moody Road does not extend south, beyond Junietta Road. The county also owns land north of Excel and south of Moody Road, with plans for a future road connection on what would become the westernmost boundary of the proposed new subdivision.
