The board’s action replaces the prior agenda item discussion and establishes the county’s general land-use framework as a matter of county policy.

The ordinance’s effective date means county staff will have a 30-day window to publish the enacted text and begin any required administrative steps. The board did not record additional implementation steps or timelines in the meeting minutes. The board will address related planning or implementation details in future meetings as needed.
