Crooks council adopts comprehensive plan and future-use map to guide development

Jun 9, 2026

Council adopted a resolution to approve the Crooks comprehensive plan and a future-use map intended to extend planning control roughly a mile south to guide annexations and future development.

The full story

At a public hearing the Chair described the proposed comprehensive plan and future-use map as a tool to "control what gets put next to Crooks" and to prevent unanticipated developments like what the council referred to as the prior "Smithfield" incident. Staff and councilors said the future-use map extends roughly a mile south and is intended to prompt voluntary annexations and require future developers to go through Crooks planning and zoning.
