Commission adopts revised subdivision regulations effective immediately
Summary
The commission voted unanimously to adopt a revised edition of the county’s subdivision regulations and clarified that, because the change is a repeal and replacement rather than an amendment, the rules take effect immediately.
Commissioner Perkins moved to adopt revised subdivision regulations for Chilton County; Commissioner Childress seconded and the commission approved the revised regulations unanimously.
County staff and the commission’s attorney discussed whether the 30‑day delay that applies to amendments was required for a full repeal and adoption of a new edition. The county attorney advised that the state statute’s 30‑day amendment delay applies to amendments, and if the commission adopts a new book by repeal and adoption of a revised edition, the commission may adopt an immediate effective date. The commission confirmed the revisions would take effect the following morning.
Commissioners thanked staff and citizens who provided input during the revision process. No ordinance or statute citation was introduced in the discussion; the attorney’s explanation about the distinction between amendment and repeal/adoption was recorded in the meeting.
