Union County authorizes Planning & Zoning to advance Rancho Pacifica and update 2008 zoning rules
Summary
The county directed Planning & Zoning to move forward with the Rancho Pacifica development and authorized the department and State's Attorney Kathy Zenner to begin an update of the 2008 zoning regulations; both motions carried Sept. 30, 2025.
The Union County Board of Commissioners on Sept. 30 voted to allow Planning & Zoning to proceed with the Rancho Pacifica development and to begin a formal update of the county's 2008 zoning regulations.
Commissioner Michael Dailey moved to have Planning & Zoning move forward with Rancho Pacifica; Commissioner Tom Kimmel seconded and the motion carried. Commissioners then approved a motion by Robert Ballard, seconded by Dailey, authorizing Planning & Zoning and State's Attorney Kathy Zenner to proceed with an update to the 2008 Union County zoning regulations.
Why it matters: Authorizing both development work and a zoning code update signals the county is preparing to process new land-use proposals and modernize its regulatory framework. The minutes do not include ordinance text or timelines; the board recorded only the authorization to proceed and delegated coordination to Planning & Zoning and the State's Attorney.
Next steps: Planning & Zoning will proceed with development review for Rancho Pacifica and with drafting work on zoning regulation updates; the county indicated further review and formal hearings will occur under standard procedures.
