Work session ends with directions; no formal votes recorded

Jul 29, 2026

The board gave staff direction to refine the UDO draft, tighten mixed-use and density rules, clarify accessory- and livestock-related language, produce infrastructure/mapping data, and engage ACCG on state-level issues; no motions or recorded votes occurred in the session.

The full story

At the end of the work session, commissioners issued several directions to staff rather than taking formal actions. Staff was asked to rework district-specific allowances for mixed-use and multifamily, to clarify open-space and density calculations, to refine accessory-structure and backyard-livestock language (including chicken thresholds and setbacks), to provide countywide maps showing existing multifamily locations and sewer capacity, and to coordinate with ACCG/NACO about state-level issues such as gaming in convenience stores.
