10/20/2026 Bannock County Commissioners Public Hearing: Comp Plan Amendment

Bannock County Commissioners public hearing on a comprehensive plan amendment, October 20, 2026: Planning Director Hal Jensen presented a revised diagram intended to keep the comprehensive plan consistent with a forthcoming ordinance and the county’s direction to phase out the multi-use (MU) zone. No public comments were received. Commissioners approved a motion to close the public hearing; the transcript then records a motion to uphold the amendment and several ayes, but cuts off before the vote’s outcome is clear.

In response to a question about the future of MU zoning, Jensen said the county expects to study how areas should be rezoned and meet with affected property owners over roughly the next two years. Possible replacement zones include residential, commercial general, and light industrial, reflecting existing development patterns. No procurement, contract, or spending activity was identified.
