McCormick County council approves title-only first reading for rezoning ordinance
Summary
The McCormick County Council on Feb. 17 approved a title-only first reading of Ordinance 25-11, which would rezone several county parcels from Forest Agriculture to Service Industry; council asked staff to review planning commission stipulations before the second reading in March.
McCormick County Council voted Feb. 17 to proceed with a title-only first reading of Ordinance 25-11, a zoning map amendment that would change several parcels from Forest Agriculture to Service Industry. The ordinance was advanced by voice vote at the meeting.
The ordinance lists specific county tax-map parcels to be rezoned; council did not act beyond the first-reading step. Council member Charles Cook urged the county administrator and economic development director to review planning commission recommendations and report back with any proposed stipulations before the second reading so the public would have an opportunity to respond. "The planning commission recommended that the council consider including some stipulations on one of the parcels," Cook said, and suggested any necessary amendments be presented prior to the second reading.
Council members did not record a roll-call tally in the transcript for the title-only vote; the item was advanced by voice and the chair stated the motion carried. The council indicated that a second reading is expected in March, when any recommended stipulations or amendments will be considered and the public may comment.
Next steps: county staff are to review the planning commission's recommendations and bring suggested changes or findings to the council before the second reading. No formal site-specific conditions or legal authorities beyond the ordinance title were adopted at the Feb. 17 session.
