Court asks KIPDA to analyze R-2 zoning regulations

Spencer County Fiscal Court · March 1, 2026

Summary

Esq. Travis successfully moved that KIPDA prepare an analysis of Spencer County’s R-2 zoning regulations — benefits, detriments and effects of removing R-2 — and the court approved the referral with one dissenting vote.

Spencer County Fiscal Court voted Jan. 4 to request that KIPDA (the Kentucky–Indiana Regional Planning and Development Agency) prepare an analysis of the county’s R-2 zoning designation.

Esq. Travis said the study would help the court understand the benefits and drawbacks of the R-2 category and the consequences of eliminating it. The motion was seconded by Esq. Stump and passed on a voice vote, with Esq. Eldridge recorded as the lone “nay.” The packet notes that both Travis and the judge sit on the KIPDA board and expect to ask the agency to perform the work.

The motion directs staff to pursue an analysis of planning and zoning regulations; the court did not specify funding for the study at the meeting. Court members said the analysis would inform future zoning decisions and help the county understand impacts to development patterns.
