Regional Planning Commission recommends denial of rezoning near Farmington
At its Nov. 13 meeting, the Regional Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend denial of Ordinance LC 25-25, a zoning-map amendment that would change land near Farmington from AR (agricultural/low-density residential) to BG (general business/highway commercial).

The motion to recommend denial was moved by Commissioner Peter Mills, who read staff and public-hearing exhibits dated Nov. 6, 2025, and summarized the commission's findings of fact: there was no mistake in the zoning map; most surrounding parcels remain zoned AR with an agricultural and single-family residential character; the few existing commercial and industrial parcels in the area are undeveloped; and "the proposed BG zoning does not conform to the 02/18 comprehensive plan," Mills said.

The chair asked for a second; a second was stated on the record but the transcript does not identify who seconded. Clerk Sarah conducted a roll-call vote; Commissioners Peterman, Servan, Garvey, Mills, Davis and Jester each voted to deny, producing a 6-0 recommendation to deny Ordinance LC 25-25.

Chair placed the levy-court action summaries before commissioners earlier in the meeting and invited questions; staff was offered as the point of contact for any follow-up. The chair opened the public-comment period after the vote; no public speakers came forward.

The meeting concluded after brief commission remarks. Commissioner Davis, participating remotely, said he was caring for his wife and hoped to attend the next meeting in person; the chair offered well wishes. The commission then approved a motion to adjourn.

The record in the meeting cites staff exhibit A (staff recommendation dated 11/06/2025) and exhibit B (public hearing testimony dated 11/06/2025) as the basis for the recommendation. The transcript does not record a named seconder for Mills's motion nor does it record subsequent action by any other governing body; those items were not specified in the meeting record.
