Buffalo County ends special-use permit, rezones 1.38 acres for Roach property and adopts subdivision edits
Summary
The Buffalo County Board of Commissioners approved termination of a ready‑mix concrete plant special-use permit and rezoned about 1.38 acres from Agriculture to Industrial for property owned by Shane M. Roach. The board also adopted targeted edits to county subdivision regulations.
The Buffalo County Board of Commissioners on July 14 approved the termination of a Special Use Permit for a ready‑mix concrete plant at 4785 Keystone Road and rezoned roughly 1.38 acres of the same parcel from Agriculture to Industrial.
Chairperson Sherry Morrow opened a public hearing on the termination request filed by landowner Shane M. Roach; Zoning Administrator Dennise Daniels and licensed land surveyor Mitch Humphrey were present to answer questions. No members of the public spoke during the hearing. The Planning and Zoning Commission had reviewed the request and forwarded a favorable recommendation to the Board following a June 18 public hearing.
Following the hearing the Board adopted Resolution 2026‑30, approving termination of the special‑use permit that had previously allowed the ready‑mix concrete operation. The motion to approve the termination passed on a unanimous roll call vote.
The Board then approved a Zoning Map Amendment under Resolution 2026‑31 to change approximately 1.38 acres in the Roach Administrative Subdivision from Agriculture (AG) to Industrial (I). The resolution notes the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval on a 9‑0 vote and that no written protests were filed within the statutory protest period.
Separately, the Board held a public hearing and adopted limited amendments to the Buffalo County Subdivision Regulations (Exhibit E) under Resolution 2026‑32. The edits add a return address for recording, correct the notary/resolution template, require a three‑inch top margin on the front page, and fix identified typographical and grammatical errors. The Planning and Zoning Commission had recommended those amendments by unanimous vote.
Commissioners also voted to refer a separate set of proposed zoning amendments to the Planning and Zoning Commission for study and recommendation. The referral requests analysis of definitions and requirements for data centers, battery energy storage systems and medical marijuana under Section 3.3 (definitions), Section 5.5 (Commercial District), Section 5.6 (Industrial District) and Article 6 (Special Use Permit Requirements).
The board filed copies of the adopted resolutions in the Register of Deeds as required. No protests or public opposition were recorded in the minutes.
