ZTA 26-09 Would Allow Vehicle Repair in Rural Village Center Zones
BalcombeJun 15, 2026
Lead sponsor Vice President Marilyn Balcombe introduced Zoning Text Amendment 26-09 on June 16, 2026, which would allow vehicle repair as limited uses in the Rural Village Center (RVC) Overlay Zone. Currently, such uses require conditional use approval where the lot has a Commercial/Residential underlying zone. The ZTA would reduce the setback for major repair from 100 to 50 feet from abutting residential lot lines for new buildings and allow alternative structures for tree shading.
