Information
Agenda Item Text:
Approve, deny, modify, or remand Docket SUA26-03, an appeal by Linas and Emily Regis, et al. (appellants) of the Planning and Zoning Commission's approval of a Special Use Authorization to allow Agritourism on 23.2 acres (tax parcels 120-13-004C, 120-15-006D, 120-15-006H, 120-15-009B, and 120-15-009C) at the approximate northeast corner of Patton Street and McRae Lane in St. David (Supervisor District 3).
Background:
The appellants, Linas and Emily Regis, filed an appeal against a decision made by the Cochise County Planning and Zoning Commission on September 9, 2026, where the Commission approved Special Use Authorization #SU26-16 (Allred Farms Agritourism) to allow agritourism on 23.2-acres at the approximate northeast corner of W. Patton Street and N. McRae Lane in Saint David (tax parcels 120-13-004C, 120-15-006D, 120-15-006H, 120-15-009B, and 120-15-009C). The parcels are zoned R-36 (Residential District, one dwelling per 36,000 square feet) and Agritourism requires Special Use approval in Residential zoning districts per Section 2.48.220 of the Cochise County Zoning Regulations. Co-appellants include David Daugherty; Bruce and Michelle Fenn; Bradley Scott Gartin; John Hardwick; Jonathan and Courtney Hilton; Max and Mercedes Gonzalez; Karen Goodman; Ora Goodman; Greg and Kiri Hall; Dustin and Andrea Merrill; and Rocky Warner. All but three of the co-appellants own property within the 600’ notification area.
Department's Next Steps (if approved):
If the Board modifies the Planning and Zoning Commission's approval of Docket SU26-16 and adds, deletes, or amends existing special conditions, Allred Farms will provide the case planner with signed and notarized Acceptance of Conditions and Diminution Waiver forms within 30 days and obtain all required permits.
Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:
Board of Supervisors' approval of the appeal reverses the Planning and Zoning Commission's decision and denies Docket SU26-16. Board denial of the appeal upholds the Commission's decision, and the Board may also modify the Commission's approval of Docket SU26-16 by adding, deleting, or amending special conditions imposed by the Commission. Lastly, the Board may remand the special use back to the Commission for further proceedings, and the Commission would return a recommendation to the Board for final action (only one remand is allowed per appeal).
