McCone County schedules public meeting on draft subdivision and zoning regulations
Summary
The board noted receipt of a planning-board draft and confirmed a public meeting on the draft planning/zoning materials in mid-July; commissioners agreed they cannot adopt regulations before public participation and tabled action until after the hearing.
County commissioners confirmed that the planning board has prepared draft subdivision and zoning regulations and that a public meeting/hearing is scheduled for mid-July, prompting the board to defer adoption until public comment occurs.
Staff and commissioners said they had seen an email from Stephanie Ray of the planning board indicating the first public meeting would occur July 13 at 5:30 p.m. (the transcript later references July 14 on the county calendar); commissioners agreed to keep the item on future agendas and to coordinate with staff and the county attorney about posting and review logistics.
Why it matters: Adoption of subdivision and zoning regulations affects land-use rules, permitting processes and developer obligations countywide. Commissioners said they would not proceed with adoption without required public participation.
Details: Commissioners discussed uncertainty about whether the publicly posted date was July 13 or July 14 and noted the planning board had been working through the draft in sections. They directed staff to confirm the meeting date, ensure the draft is posted for review, and bring the item back to the board after public input.
Next steps: Staff to confirm public meeting date/time and ensure required public notice; the board will review public comments before any action on adoption.
Sources: Planning-board email referenced by staff and discussion during the meeting.
