Joint planning commissions recommend shortening public-notice period from 14 to 10 days
Summary
Brookings County and the City of Brookings planning commissions voted to recommend amendments aligning the joint jurisdiction zoning ordinance's public-notice publication requirement with South Dakota law, shortening it from 14 days to 10 days. A joint second-reading is scheduled for May 12.
The Brookings County Planning Commission and the City of Brookings Planning Commission voted April 7 to forward proposed amendments to the joint jurisdiction zoning ordinance that would change the public-notice publication requirement from 14 days to 10 days to match South Dakota Codified Law 11-2-19.
Richard Rodriguez, the county planning staff member who presented the package, said the updates cover Article 1 (general provisions and the official joint jurisdiction zoning map), Article 4 (administration and zoning amendment procedures) and Article 5 (manufactured-home regulation). "Proposed amendments to the joint jurisdiction ordinance change the public notice publication requirement from 14 days to 10 days," Rodriguez said during his staff presentation. The joint planning commissions will forward a recommendation to the Brookings County Commission and the Brookings City Council, and a joint meeting for final action has been scheduled for May 12 at 5:30 p.m.
No members of the public testified for or against the ordinance change at the hearing. After staff closed the public-hearing portion and called for discussion, commissioners voted on both the county and city sides to recommend the amendment, with the city vote passing after one dissenting vote. The commissions noted that the proposed change would align the local notice requirement with state statute and the county's existing practice.
