Court approves zoning recommendation; second‑reading package previewed with House Bill 160 in mind
Summary
Spencer County Fiscal Court approved a planning‑and‑zoning recommendation to reclassify a roughly 2.44‑acre parcel toward residential use and discussed an upcoming first reading of broader zoning regulation amendments timed with House Bill 160’s effective date (07/01/2026).
Spencer County’s fiscal court voted to approve a planning and zoning commission recommendation to change the land‑use designation on a 2.442‑acre parcel to allow lower‑to‑medium‑density residential uses and to accommodate a qualified manufactured home under the pending House Bill 160. The chair put the motion and, after a second, the court adopted the recommendation on a voice vote.
Court members also previewed a larger package of zoning regulation changes that will be introduced for first reading on the 17th and returned for second reading later. One commissioner asked that the proposed ordinance language be circulated in advance so the public and the court can review it; the chair said the process will mirror previous multi‑step reviews with public notice and the possibility of amendments at second reading. "We had 1st reading. We let the public know. And when we had our 2nd reading, we did lengthy, lengthy discussion and made some changes that suited us," the chair said.
