Sowder Job - Waiver Request to Major Site Plan

Development Review Committee · 2026-09-14 · agenda_item

The Development Review Committee of Marion County is reviewing a waiver request from Cardinal Construction for the Sowder Job, case number 2026-24360. The property is identified as parcel number 1611-002-025. The applicant is requesting a waiver from the Major Site Plan requirement under LDC 2.21.1.A(1). This requirement normally applies when proposed improvements cause impervious ground coverage to reach or exceed 35 percent of the gross site area or 9,000 square feet, whichever is less. The waiver is based on the impervious coverage exceeding this limit. The item is currently pending review by the committee. If the waiver is granted, the project could proceed without a full Major Site Plan, but any construction would still involve site work such as grading, drainage, and paving, along with potential building and utility trades. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers in site preparation, concrete, paving, and general construction should monitor this case and reach out to the county early to understand how the waiver might affect bidding and permitting timelines.
