Board moves land‑development regulations into county code and adopts non‑substantive renumbering

May 27, 2026

The board adopted ordinances to move the county’s land development regulations from Appendix A into new chapters (proposed chapters 29 and 30) of the county code, repealed the prior article referencing the appendix, and approved deleting a duplicated whereas clause; staff said the changes are non‑substantive renumbering.

The full story

County planning staff presented a proposal to relocate the county’s land development regulations from Appendix A into the main body of the county code by creating new Chapters 29 (subdivision ordinance) and 30 (zoning ordinance) and amending Chapter 17 to remove references to the appendix. Staff emphasized that the reorganization is non‑substantive and is intended to make regulations easier to find and to reflect that zone and subdivision rules are ordinances under state law.
