Summary
An APC representative told Franklin County commissioners that House Bill 1001 could restrict local zoning authority; the board adopted ordinance 2026-08, which had been discussed and reviewed, by voice vote.
An APC representative told the board June 24 that House Bill 1001 (state legislation) would limit the county's ability to enforce or control local zoning for new housing and certain business developments. The presenter described an "opt-down" approach tied to how the state would recommend housing and how the county could restrict zoning.
Following the presentation, a motion was made to adopt ordinance 2026-08. Jerry Wendel moved to approve the ordinance and John Heise seconded; commissioners approved the ordinance by voice vote. The presenter and commissioners noted the draft had been reviewed by council in the form presented, and one commissioner asked whether Garrett had returned feedback on the draft.
The board indicated they will need to sign related documents. The ordinance was adopted by voice vote at the meeting; the transcript does not record individual roll-call votes or any amendments.
