Natrona County Planning & Zoning Commissioners - May 12 2026

The Natrona County Planning and Zoning Commission held a meeting on May 12, 2026, primarily addressing two agenda items: a major subdivision replat and vacation request by Mark and Missy Van Horn for the Allenale Edition subdivision, and a zone change request by David Krager and Michael Reed from ranching agriculture and mining to urban agriculture. The Van Horns sought to consolidate 46 lots into four larger parcels to improve land use and home placement, with plans for a commercial storage facility, which raised significant public opposition concerning drainage, flooding, private road access, neighborhood impact, and potential commercial use. After extensive public testimony and discussion, the commission voted to table the Van Horns' request until the June meeting to allow further research and consideration. The second item, the Krager-Reed zone change for 385 acres, was recommended for approval by staff and approved unanimously by the commission, as it was deemed consistent with county zoning policies and beneficial for agricultural residential use. No direct contract awards or procurement actions were discussed, but the meeting involved important land use and zoning decisions that could influence future development and infrastructure planning in Natrona County.
