Summary

After approving the Long Shoals rezoning, members asked staff for a briefing on SB 382’s local impact and the planning director said he will provide an update on floodplain management at an upcoming meeting.

After the board voted to approve the rezoning, a member asked for a presentation on SB 382 and its potential impacts on the county’s zoning tools. The member said the change could be a "sea change" and that the board needs to understand whether it can reverse zoning decisions in the future.

The planning director said he has contacted the county’s lobbyist and will provide an update on floodplain and floodplain management next month; he offered to "piggyback" SB 382 material into that presentation. The board agreed to schedule the follow-up briefing so members could better weigh policy and legal risks for future zoning decisions.
