Madison County advances sensitive-lands mapping; public hearing set for Sept. 15

Madison County Board of Commissioners · August 18, 2026

Summary

Commissioners approved a resolution of intent to adopt the Madison County Sensitive Lands mapping report (prepared by Logan Simpson) as vetted, non-regulatory data to inform subdivision regulation updates and the growth policy; a public hearing was scheduled for Sept. 15.

The Madison County Board of Commissioners approved Resolution 43-2026, a resolution of intent to adopt the county’s Sensitive Lands mapping report prepared by contractors Logan Simpson. Commissioners described the mapping product as a vetted, advisory dataset (non-regulatory) to support subdivision reviews and growth-policy updates and moved to schedule a public hearing for Sept. 15 to consider formal adoption.

Staff told the board the mapping effort was focused on producing objective subdivision-review criteria—centered on which areas are appropriate for different levels of development and which may warrant mitigation or restriction. The chair observed staff would incorporate the maps into future updates to subdivision regulations and the county growth policy, and the board set public-notice actions to run this week ahead of the Sept. 15 hearing.
