Jamestown (CSi)  The Jamestown City Planning Commission has  approved a zone change for property adjacent to the planned road between the Menards area and Jamestown Regional Medical Center which is  owned by John Corell.

A portion of the property is presently zoned for commercial development while the southern area is zoned agriculture. The zoning change will change the zoning of the entire project to commercial.

The Planning Commission tabled a request to change the zoning of the former Beulah Camp in Northwest Jamestown from park/open space/recreation to low density residential housing.

Developer, Dean Hafner, purchased the old Bible camp property in 2011. Hafner’s application indicates  single-family homes and twin homes would be constructed on the property if the zoning is changed.

Hafner’s plan is opposed by residents across the river indicating the housing developemtn would reduce the value of their property, and could cause flooding problems for their properties.
