Board adopts two rezoning ordinances for Frampton and Painted Prairie developments

May 21, 2026

Supervisors adopted ordinances 2026-008 (Frampton) and 2026-007 (Painted Prairie) to rezone parcels to RE-1/R-1 for three-acre and one-half acre lot concepts; staff noted floodplain and city-of-Waukee coordination for Painted Prairie.

The full story

The board considered two rezoning items in the 10:15–10:30 a.m. block. For Frampton, county planning staff presented a request to rezone just under 20 acres north of Highway 44 to RE-1 to permit 3-acre minimum lots; staff noted a small portion lies in floodplain and that the city of Grimes would review subdivision-level requirements in the two-mile review area. The board adopted ordinance 2026-008 by voice vote.
