Roosevelt asks county to recess airport overlay hearing to ensure city/county alignment
Summary
Roosevelt City requested a 30‑day recess of the county's airport overlay ordinance (Ord. 24‑414) to coordinate city and county overlay language; commissioners agreed to pause the hearing to seek consistency between city and county requirements.
The commission reopened a public hearing on Ordinance 24‑414, proposed to create an airport overlay district protecting the Roosevelt Municipal Airport in response to state guidance. County planning staff said the ordinance follows HB 206 (2023) and noted a short deadline for counties to adopt airport overlays.
Roosevelt City representatives told the commission their existing overlay (adopted in 2019) needs minor adjustments and asked for 30 days to reconcile both drafts and achieve consistent rules for lands inside and outside city limits. The county agreed that aligning the two drafts made sense and recessed the hearing to allow the city and county engineers and planning consultants to prepare a single, consistent proposal for a future hearing.
Commissioners said the pause would not prejudice previously‑approved development and that it was preferable to collaborate with the city to avoid inconsistent standards across adjacent jurisdictions.
