County names members to small planning and zoning group to update ordinance
Summary
The board appointed a small planning and zoning working group — including county and city representatives — to draft baseline updates to local ordinances; members will meet monthly and planners plan a public input session at the library.
Clay County commissioners voted to form and staff a small planning and zoning working group to prepare baseline language for an ordinance update, with the goal of addressing new business types and cleaning up definitions in the county code.
Planning and Zoning staff reported the commission’s internal nomination of Aiden to represent that body on the working group. Commissioners discussed membership and timing; the group is expected to meet about once a month, with the frequency adjustable if workload increases. Staff said the group will solicit community input through a public meeting (a library hearing) to gather suggestions and explain proposed changes.
The board approved nominations to the working group, naming Noah Westerard, Michael Smith, Cindy, Aiden, Glenn Gilbertson and Dave Tezy as members representing the county on the subcommittee. Commissioners said the city will appoint its own representatives for the joint‑jurisdiction work.
The working group’s initial tasks include adding missing regulations (for example, new business types such as hemp processing) and cleaning up typographical or definitional items from the current ordinance.
