Nelson County approves $10,800 zoning work-order amendment to align maps and ordinance
Summary
The county contracted the Berkeley Group for a $10,800.40 amendment to compare the future land use map with current zoning and recommend ordinance text amendments; supervisors said the work precedes a broader mapping effort that could last 18 months to two years.
Nelson County supervisors approved a $10,800.40 amendment to a Berkeley Group work order to compare the county's future land-use map with existing zoning and recommend text amendments to align the two.
A Berkeley Group consultant (speaker 7) told the board the study will remain at a high level rather than parcel-by-parcel, identifying areas of conflict and recommending ordinance text changes to ensure state-code compliance. "It won't be parcel by parcel specific or remain at a high level examining how our future land use designations align with our existing zoning districts," the consultant said.
Timing and scope: The consultant said the approach is intended to avoid derailing ordinance adoption by sequencing ordinance text updates before final mapping; the full mapping exercise will follow and could take another 18 months to two years. The immediate task includes two additional work sessions and a memo identifying recommended rezoning areas and proposed text amendments.
Board action: Supervisor (speaker 3) moved to approve the budget amendment for the Berkeley Group work order (Resolution R-2026-17); the board approved the resolution by voice vote.
Next steps: Staff will schedule the additional work sessions described by the consultant and incorporate the consultant's memo into subsequent ordinance drafting and public hearings.
