County to modernize building permit rules; Board adds Chapter 2.9 amendment to consent agenda
Summary
Planning staff proposed amending Chapter 2.9 to reflect a new online permitting system by removing paper-submission requirements, clarifying on-site display of printed permits/placards, and standardizing permit-extension language to a three-month period; board directed staff to provide printing assistance to residents and added the amendment to the consent agenda.
Morgan County Planning & Development presented a text amendment to Chapter 2.9 of the Morgan County Zoning Ordinance to align permit procedures with a new electronic permitting system. The amendment removes requirements for paper document submission, clarifies that applicants must print and display permits and placards on-site, and resolves an inconsistency by establishing a uniform three-month permit extension period. The Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the changes.
Commissioner Ben Riden raised concerns about residents who may need help printing permits from the online portal; the Board approved adding the amendment to the consent agenda with a modification directing staff to provide assistance to those residents. The motion to add the item to the consent agenda was recorded as passing unanimously.
