Summary

Commissioners resumed a section‑by‑section review of Title 15 (zoning), with discussion focused on A3 agricultural zoning (rentals of 30 days or more) and whether conditional‑use permits should have time limits or renewal procedures.

Commissioner Jeff Larsen presented his assigned sections of Title 15 and referenced state code where relevant during the Sept. 18 meeting. Commissioners examined language in 15.10 (Agricultural Zone A3), noting the code currently states rentals must be for 30 days or longer, which effectively prohibits short‑term rentals in that zone.

The commission discussed whether the conditional‑use‑permit (CUP) process should include time limitations or a formal renewal mechanism. Commissioner Suzanne Ferre and others asked for clarifying language around zoning descriptions and where agricultural zoning exists inside town boundaries; Shannon Smith displayed the town zoning map for reference. The commission asked members to continue reviewing assigned sections and scheduled further review next month, with Commissioner John Henderson volunteering to present his sections.
