Alex Pinkney elected chair of Jasper County Planning Commission for 2026
Summary
Alex Pinkney won the chair nomination in a roll‑call/voice vote and presided for the remainder of officer elections. The commission then moved on to zoning business including a conditional‑use application for a mobile home park and several map and text amendments.
Alex Pinkney was elected chair of the Jasper County Planning Commission for 2026 after a nomination during the commission’s opening proceedings. The nomination was seconded and carried; staff then turned the meeting over to Pinkney to continue elections and the day’s agenda.
The election occurred at the start of the meeting after the chair called the session to order and completed procedural business. Commissioners approved the meeting agenda and minutes from the Dec. 16, 2025 meeting before proceeding to substantive zoning items.
No additional votes on officer changes were recorded at the meeting after Pinkney assumed the chair. The commission then addressed three major land‑use matters on the agenda: a conditional‑use request for a seven‑space mobile home park on Freedom Parkway, proposed zoning text and map amendments for a U Haul Overlay District in the Broad River planning area, and multiple zoning map amendments including resource extraction and airport parcels.
The meeting continued with staff presentations, applicant testimony and public comment on each item, and motions to approve or to return items for further review where commissioners requested additional information.
