Countywide zoning code overhaul (Ordinances 3672/3673)
The county is rewriting its agricultural and residential zoning rules to remove outdated language and add clear zoning tables. Changes include a simpler poultry limit (50 birds per half acre), taller fence allowances (up to 8 feet), an animal-unit conversion chart for small ag parcels, removal of the mobile-home overlay section, and expanded noticing for event permits.
