Bannock County adopts ag protection area fees, future land-use map and related zoning ordinance
Summary
Commissioners approved two resolutions and a county ordinance establishing agricultural protection areas, new planning fees, and a zoning ordinance tied to the county’s 2021 comprehensive plan future land-use map.
Bannock County commissioners approved measures to formalize agricultural protection areas in the county by adopting two resolutions and a county ordinance.
A commissioner presented three related items for action: a resolution establishing new planning and development fees for agricultural protection areas; a resolution adopting the 2021 comprehensive plan future land-use map that delineates the agricultural protection areas; and a county ordinance establishing zoning regulations for those agricultural protection areas. The presenter said these items were the product of prior public meetings and discussions.
After asking for further comments and receiving none, a commissioner moved to approve Resolution 2025-14, Resolution 2025-15 and County Ordinance 2025-01. The motion carried on a voice vote. One commissioner remarked, “Ag protection area is now a real thing,” following the vote.
The meeting record indicates the resolutions and ordinance were discussed at a public meeting the week prior; the action at this meeting finalizes adoption. The record did not include the full fee schedule or the ordinance text; the motion language and ordinance number were recorded in the minutes but substantive fee and zoning provisions were not read into the record during the meeting.
