Nelson County:
“The Nelson County Planning Commission is considering
proposed amendments to the zoning ordinance that would allow a higher density
of duplexes in agricultural zones. At its meeting Feb. 26, commissioners
discussed proposed amendments that would alter the density requirement for
specific duplexes, or two-family detached dwellings, in agricultural zones so
they could be constructed on 2-acre parcels of land, as opposed to the current
requirement of 4-acre parcels.
George Krieger, director of the Nelson County Community
Development Foundation, proposed the amendments. Duplexes with four or fewer
bedrooms and two or fewer baths are an “important tool in providing affordable
housing” for low- to moderate-income residents in the agricultural zones of the
county, Krieger told the commission.”
