Commission approves multi-section text amendments to county land-use code (ordinance 664)
Summary
County staff presented Ordinance 664, a set of corrections and clarifications to the land-use code including numbering fixes, removal/clarification of 'protection strips', flag-lot and subdivision enforcement changes, renaming mixed-use zones to 'minimal use', and adjusted noticing thresholds for very large zoning map amendments; commission approved the ordinance.
Scott Lyons presented a clustered text amendment (Ordinance 664) to correct cross-references to state code, harmonize conflicting flag-lot rules, explicitly prohibit so-called "protection strips," require preconstruction meetings before on-site work begins, and adjust noticing requirements for very large rezones.
Lyons told commissioners the planning commission reviewed and forwarded a recommendation of approval after a public hearing; the commission approved Ordinance 664 by motion (Bingham) and second (Perry). Lyons highlighted that the changes align local code with recent state-code renumbering and sought to reduce ambiguous developer practices such as protection strips.
