Consultant asks county and Scobey to coordinate zoning, commissioners agree
Summary
Interstate Engineering asked whether growth should be directed toward Scobey and requested the county zoning map; commissioners said coordination is good and agreed development should be guided toward existing centers when possible.
Rachel Laque told the commissioners she will review county zoning and asked the county to provide the zoning map so the growth policy can explicitly guide development toward Scobey and away from random rural commercial nodes.
"Daniels County has zoning and Daniels County has a zoning map. I haven't seen either of them, but we're getting them," Laque said, asking staff to share the documents. Commissioners responded that coordination with Scobey is generally good and that directing development toward existing centers aligns with previous policy goals.
Why it matters: A clear zoning map helps the growth policy provide actionable guidance about where development should occur and helps prioritize infrastructure investments and grant applications. Consultants said they will obtain the county zoning ordinance and map and reflect coordinated growth principles in the draft.
