Pulaski County Quorum Court adopts moratorium on development inconsistent with existing land‑use rules
Summary
The Pulaski County Quorum Court voted 13–0 to adopt Ordinance 25 I 57, establishing a moratorium on development deemed inconsistent with previously enacted land‑use and development regulations.
The Pulaski County Quorum Court voted 13–0 Aug. 12, 2025, to adopt Ordinance 25 I 57, which establishes continuity of development, seeks to protect property rights and imposes a moratorium on development that is inconsistent with previously enacted land‑use and development regulations.
Amy, the county clerk, read the ordinance title and summary aloud to the court before a motion to adopt was made. The ordinance was described in the reading as "an ordinance to establish continuity of development, protect the property rights of citizens, adopt a moratorium on development that is inconsistent with previously enacted land use and development regulations and for other purposes."
Justice Davis was recognized for the motion and said, “I move for the adoption.” A second was recorded on the floor but the transcript does not identify who seconded the motion. Clerk Amy then called the roll. The following members voted aye: Miss Davis; Miss Capps; Miss Lewison; Miss Blackwood; Mr. Person; Miss Massey; Miss Curry; Curtis A. Keith; Miss Ward; Miss Young Baker; Mr. Robinson; Mr. McCoy; and Mr. Elliott. The clerk announced "You have 13 ayes." Two members, Mr. Stowers and Miss Medlock, were absent for the vote.
Court members did not request discussion or pose questions during the item; the presiding officer asked if there were questions or discussion and, according to the transcript, "there being none," the roll was called for adoption. After the ordinance was adopted, the presiding officer closed the business portion of the agenda and the special meeting was adjourned.
The ordinance as read places a moratorium on development found to be inconsistent with Pulaski County's existing land‑use and development regulations. The transcript does not specify the moratorium's effective date, duration, enforcement mechanism, or any required follow‑up actions by staff. Those procedural details were not discussed on the record during this special meeting and therefore are not reported here.
