(KNZA)--The Doniphan County Commission has approved a zoning change to allow for a farm winery operation.

Following a hearing Monday, the commission approved a zoning change for property located at 505 North Second Terrace, in Troy. The property is owned by Chapple Farms LLC.

Owner Tim Chapple said the farm winery would consist of winemaking operations and wine testing events. Wine tasting would take place a couple of Saturdays a month and private tasting events held, with the farm winery being in operation by 2023.

Doniphan County Zoning Administrator Julie Meng said the Doniphan County Regional Planning Commission held a hearing on November 10 on the zoning change request. She said they received letters from three individuals in favor of the zoning change and no one opposed.

The Planning Commission voted to recommend approval of the zoning change from R-O outer residential to A-1 conditional use.
