Fiscal Court approves ordinance to allow schools and daycares as conditional uses in agricultural zones
Summary
Lincoln County Fiscal Court approved a second reading of an ordinance that allows schools, daycares and related establishments to be developed in agricultural (A-1) zones under conditional-use approval.
The Lincoln County Fiscal Court approved the second reading of an ordinance July 22 that allows schools, daycares and related establishments to be developed in agricultural zones under conditional uses. Judge Adams presided over the meeting.
The ordinance changes the county's regulations so planning and zoning may permit schools and similar facilities in A-1 zones through the conditional-use process rather than by separate amendments. Magistrate Faulkner made the motion to approve the second reading; Magistrate Gutenson seconded it. The motion carried.
Court members said the change formalizes earlier discussions and will allow approved projects to proceed through the county's planning and zoning review without separate zoning amendments. The ordinance was described during its second reading; no opposition was recorded in the minutes.
The court did not include detailed new standards in the meeting minutes; the ordinance places such developments in the conditional-use category, leaving the specific conditions and site requirements to the planning and zoning process. Further details will appear in the planning department's permit and conditional-use filings when applicants pursue projects.
