Warren County Board moves Pioneer Gun Club rezoning hearing to evening session

The Warren County Board of Supervisors on Thursday amended its consent agenda to move a public hearing on a rezoning request for the new Pioneer Gun Club to 6 p.m. on Oct. 7, 2025, in the boardroom. The board approved the change as a friendly amendment to a motion adopting a multi-item consent agenda and then voted to adopt the entire consent agenda by roll call.

Board chair Supervisor Harrison brought the consent agenda forward, listing minutes, personnel actions, and several ordinance repeal hearings and other items. Supervisors discussed consent item C, the rezoning request to change land from A-1 Agricultural District to C-2 General Commercial/Highway district for the Pioneer Gun Club. Supervisor McIntyre said she anticipated “there's gonna be a lot of people here to speak on that,” and proposed holding that public hearing in the evening so it would not interfere with other business. The board adopted a motion that set the hearing for 6 p.m. on Oct. 7 and then approved the consent agenda with that amendment.

Why it matters: Moving the hearing to an evening session is designed to allow more residents to attend and comment; the rezoning would change the property's allowable uses if adopted after required readings. The board’s action only schedules the hearing; no rezoning decision was made at the meeting.

Details of the vote and next steps: The motion to amend the consent agenda and approve the entire consent agenda passed on a roll-call vote; supervisors recorded “aye” votes and the chair declared the motion carried. The hearing will be held Oct. 7 at 6 p.m. in the Warren County boardroom, where the public may speak on the rezoning application. Additional readings and related ordinance actions listed on the consent agenda (chapters and reading dates) remain scheduled as posted.
