Madison County moves to create a county planner position to centralize zoning work

Madison County Board of Commissioners · September 1, 2026

Summary

Commissioners voted to create a department-head planner role to consolidate zoning and planning responsibilities; discussion covered reporting structure and preservation of existing zoning administrator positions.

The board discussed and then moved to create a county planner position that would operate as a department head and be responsible for zoning and the UDC (Unified Development Code) implementation.

Staff described the role as a way to shift zoning oversight into a dedicated planning office and to relieve current staff who are stretched thin. The planner would provide staff recommendations to the planning commission and the board and could serve as zoning administrator or be structured alongside existing administrators. Commissioners approved the motion to create the position and asked staff to return with the job description and details on how duties would be reallocated.
