Marquette County board adopts renumbering to split zoning code into five chapters
Summary
The Marquette County Board of Supervisors on Oct. 21 adopted Resolution No. 56-2025 to amend and renumber Chapter 70 (Zoning) into five separate chapters covering administration, comprehensive zoning, shoreland and floodplain protections, and wireless facilities. The vote was 16–0 with one absence.
Marquette County supervisors voted 16–0 on Oct. 21 to adopt Resolution No. 56-2025, which amends and renumbers the county's zoning code (Chapter 70) into five distinct chapters covering Zoning Administration, Comprehensive Zoning, Shoreland Protection, Floodplain Protection and Mobile Service Support Structures and Wireless Communication Facilities. The resolution was introduced by Supervisor David Benson and Supervisor Kathy Jo Locke and was approved by roll call; one supervisor was absent.
The change was presented to the full board after the Planning & Zoning Committee held a publicly noticed hearing, Committee Chair Judi Nigbor told the board. The committee recommended splitting the existing Chapter 70 into the five new chapters to clarify administration, shoreland and floodplain protections and to separately address wireless communication support structures.
The board's action is procedural reorganization of the county code; the full ordinance language is available from the County Clerk or the Planning & Zoning Administrator and online via the Marquette County code of ordinances. (County website contact information was provided at the meeting.)
Supervisor Benson and Supervisor Locke sponsored the resolution. County Clerk Kiley Lloyd confirmed the roll-call result recorded as Ayes 16, Noes 0, Absent 1. The ordinance will be implemented in the county code as renumbered chapters described at the meeting.
The board did not record additional amendments to the substantive standards during the adoption; planning staff had previously held the public hearing and made the ordinance text available for review.
