Douglas County Planning Commission 06/18/26

The Douglas County Planning Commission held a meeting on June 18, 2026, primarily to consider a quasi-judicial hearing regarding a land use application (Planning Department File 26-018) for a comprehensive plan amendment and zone change. The request involved converting a 0.61-acre property from commercial rural community commercial (CRC) zoning to rural residential 2-acre (RR) zoning to allow residential use of existing structures that formerly operated as a market and shop. The commission reviewed staff reports, heard from the applicant, and discussed the rationale for the change, noting the commercial use had ceased years prior. The commission unanimously approved the amendment and zone change, with the next step being formal approval by the Board of Commissioners. The meeting also briefly addressed upcoming planning activities, including potential plan amendments and zone changes in August and September. No direct procurement, contracting, or budget decisions were discussed during this meeting.
