Calhoun County supervisors pass second reading of zoning ordinance amid public questions
Summary
The Calhoun County Board of Supervisors on June 9 passed the second reading of the proposed 2026 zoning ordinance, approving amended language identified in a redline comparison after public questions were raised during the session.
The Calhoun County Board of Supervisors passed the second reading of the proposed Calhoun County Zoning Ordinance 2026-01 at its June 9 meeting in Rockwell City.
The board moved into a second reading, took questions from members of the public and then voted to adopt the second reading and to approve all amendments set out in a Redline Comparison of Adopted Amendments provided by County Attorney Ben Smith. The board said the newly approved redline replaces previously approved amendments after a miscommunication between the County Attorney and County Auditor about amendments approved at the May 26 meeting.
During public comment, Jim and Sharon Murphy raised questions and recommended changes to the proposed ordinance; the minutes record their concerns but do not quote them verbatim. The board did not record any formal amendments introduced from the floor at the June 9 session beyond those incorporated from the redline document.
County Attorney Ben Smith provided the redline comparison; the board's minutes say the document is attached to the official minutes and available for public review in the auditor’s office and on the Calhoun County website.
The motion to pass the second reading was made by Supervisor Dave George and seconded by Supervisor Cory Ridgely; the minutes record the vote as "ayes all."
