Krebs council adopts ordinance increasing new-construction setbacks, approves emergency clause
Summary
By unanimous vote the council adopted Ordinance 24-6 to set front, side, rear and corner setbacks at 25, 10, 10 and 15 feet respectively, and approved an emergency clause to make the ordinance effective immediately.
The Krebs City Council unanimously approved Ordinance 24-6 on Nov. 19, setting specific setbacks for new construction at front 25 feet, side 10 feet, rear 10 feet and corner 15 feet, following a Planning and Zoning Board recommendation.
Councilmember Dan Heathcock moved to adopt Ordinance 24-6; Connie Poole seconded and the motion carried on a unanimous vote. The council also considered and adopted an accompanying emergency clause declaring an immediate need to preserve public peace, health and safety so the ordinance would take effect upon passage.
Why it matters: The ordinance creates a formal, numbered zoning rule that replaces earlier informal or plan-based guidance and establishes clear dimensional standards for new development in the city.
Next step: The ordinance is effective immediately per the council-approved emergency clause and will be applied by city planning staff in future permit reviews.
