County Rezones Highway 4 Property
January 11, 2008
The Escambia County Commission voted Thursday night to rezone 27 acres of property in the 5100 block of West Highway 4.
The property, owned by David and Nancy Roach, had been zoned VR-1 that allowed for one dwelling for every four acres. The new zoning, VR-2, allows for one dwelling on every three quarters of acre. The new zoning would potentially allow about 35 homes to be constructed.
Raymond Peebles, a board member of the Bratt Assembly of God, addressed the commission in opposition to the rezoning. The property sits adjacent to the church’s property. Peebles told the commission that he was concerned that Godwin Cemetery Road, a private road, would be used to access the property.
Commissioners noted that the property had potential access from Highway 4 and from Dortch Road. They voted 5-0 in favor of the rezoning.
