Calhoun County supervisors pass first reading of new zoning ordinance
Summary
The Calhoun County Board of Supervisors held a public hearing and passed the first reading of Proposed Ordinance 2024-01, which would repeal the county's previous zoning ordinance and adopt a new Calhoun County Zoning Ordinance; a second reading is scheduled Sept. 17.
The Calhoun County Board of Supervisors passed the first reading of Proposed Ordinance 2024-01 during its Sept. 10, 2024 meeting at the Calhoun County Courthouse in Rockwell City.
The ordinance, described in the record as repealing the previous Calhoun County Zoning Ordinance (including the official map and all amendments) and enacting a new ordinance titled "The Calhoun County, Iowa Zoning Ordinance 2024-01," was the subject of a public hearing opened at 9:40 a.m. by Vice Chairman Scott Jacobs and seconded by Chairman Carl Legore. No written or oral objections were filed during the hearing. The board closed the hearing at 9:53 a.m. and passed the first reading on a motion by Vice Chairman Scott Jacobs, seconded by Chairman Carl Legore (Ayes: Jacobs, Legore; Nays: none).
Why it matters: Repealing and replacing the county zoning ordinance affects land-use rules, the official zoning map and any zoning-related permits or enforcement that rely on that code. The board scheduled the ordinance's second reading for Tuesday, Sept. 17, 2024, at 9:20 a.m., at which time the board may take final action or further consider amendments.
The record does not include substantive public opposition or written objections. The minutes note the procedural steps required for ordinance adoption: public hearing, first reading and a scheduled second reading. The hearing and vote were recorded in the board minutes signed by Chairman Carl Legore and Vice Chairman Scott Jacobs; County Auditor Robin D. Batz is listed on the minutes.
