Page County Board approves zoning ordinance amendments on confined feeding operations
Summary
The board approved targeted amendments to Articles IV and VI of the Page County Zoning Ordinance to correct inconsistencies and add definitions and references for confined poultry feeding operations; the motion passed 6-0.
The Page County Board of Supervisors on Feb. 17 approved amendments to Article IV (District Regulations) and Article VI (Confined Feeding Operations) of the county zoning ordinance to correct inconsistent language and to explicitly add references to confined poultry feeding operations. Supervisor Jeff Vaughan moved to approve the changes, Supervisor Ryan Cubbage seconded, and the motion carried 6-0.
Zoning Administrator Tracy Clatterbuck told the Board the change was prompted by an error in the Agriculture and Woodland-Conservation district regulations and that the amendments are intended to "make all regulations related to confined feeding operations consistent and concise." The edits include amending the definition of "confined feeding operation," adding new definitions for "confined feeding animal unit," "stocking rate," and "target finish weight," and inserting the phrase "or confined poultry feeding operation" into multiple setback, acreage, and limit provisions. The Board record shows the Planning Commission had recommended approval by a 5-0 vote. The ordinance amendment was adopted by the Board by a unanimous vote.
The Board did not receive public speakers on the matter during the hearing. The administrative record and the full text of the amendments are available from the Page County Planning & Community Development Office and on the county website.
