Commissioners adopt ordinance rezoning Manan area of impact to Ag-10
Summary
After a presentation from planning staff and discussion about infrastructure limits, the Jefferson County commission approved Ordinance 2024-11 to change zoning in the Manan area of impact to Agriculture 10.
The Jefferson County Board of County Commissioners voted July 1 to adopt Ordinance 2024-11, reclassifying land around the city of Manan in the county’s area of impact to Agriculture 10 (Ag 10).
Planning staff described the proposed reclassification, showing the area of impact on a map and explaining that the city and planning commission requested the rezoning. Staff said the ordinance was drafted to have the city participate in any land divisions and to encourage annexation for subdivisions. Commissioners questioned infrastructure availability; staff confirmed Manan currently lacks municipal water service and has only sewer service to portions of town.
No new public testimony opposed the change during the commissioners’ discussion; the board noted the planning commission had found the request consistent with the Jefferson County comprehensive plan and recommended approval. The ordinance passed on roll-call vote.
The ordinance cites county code and Idaho statutory authority for zoning map amendments and takes effect on passage and publication per county code procedures.
