Adams County’s board on the evening’s agenda enacted four separate rezones affecting parcels in the towns of Jackson, Richfield and Springville and approved several board and committee appointments.

The board enacted Ordinance 23, a rezone of roughly 1 acre from B-1 rural business to A-3 secondary agriculture (Lot 2 CSM 4139, Town of Jackson); Director Grant said the parcel is already part of a larger combined parcel that will total over 5 acres, with no remaining B-1 zoning. The board voted to enact the ordinance by voice vote.

The board then enacted Ordinance 24, a rezone of 10.07 acres from R-1 large-lot single-family residential to A-3 secondary agriculture in the Town of Jackson. Several supervisors experienced technical difficulties accessing on-screen maps during the discussion; Director Grant said the parcel size is listed in the public notice and confirmed the entire parcel (10.07 acres) was included in the rezone. After IT issues were resolved the ordinance passed on a roll call vote.

Ordinance 25 changed zoning on a 36.92-acre parcel in the Town of Richfield from A-1(35) exclusive agriculture with a farmland-preservation overlay to a split of A-3 (5 acres) and A-1(15) (31.92 acres). Supervisor McLaughlin asked whether owners in the farmland-preservation overlay would retain eligibility for farmland-preservation tax credits; Director Grant said the portion rezoned to A-1(15) would remain eligible but the 5-acre A-3 portion would not, and he committed to notify the county’s land-and-water staff (Colton) about the change. The board enacted Ordinance 25.

Ordinance 26, a rezone involving 35.29 acres in the Town of Springville (allocating roughly 3 acres to R-1 large-lot residential and 32.29 acres to A-1(15)), was presented with no substantive discussion and enacted by the board.

Earlier in the meeting the board approved appointments and reappointments including Tammy Elekna and Barb Bois to the library board (three-year terms Jan. 2026–Dec. 2028), Bill Taylor to the Housing Committee, and Eden Church and April Eagersdorf to the sales program (Jan. 2026–May 2026). The clerk read the appointments into the record and the board approved them by motion.

The board scheduled follow-up where appropriate: Chair asked staff to restore or make maps more accessible in meeting materials after supervisors raised difficulty viewing property maps during several rezone discussions. The board closed the agenda items and moved on to its other resolutions and business.
