20260610 Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting

The Cochise County Planning and Zoning Commission held a meeting on June 10, 2026, focusing on several zoning and special use permit requests. Key procurement-related discussions included approval of a special use permit (SU2605) for BJ Real Estate to allow the display and retail sales of pre-fabricated housing units on rural property near Skyline Road, with conditions such as a 50-foot right-of-way dedication and a limit of four display units. The commission also approved a special use permit (SU26-06) to increase the height of an existing communications tower to expand service coverage, with standard permitting conditions. Additionally, the commission discussed proposed text amendments to zoning regulations affecting special use criteria and site development standards for communication towers and agricultural uses, including feed lots and impound yards. The commission agreed to table the text amendment for further study and a work session. A work session was held on impound yards, highlighting the need for clearer definitions, time limits on vehicle storage, and operational standards such as requiring a functional office and screening. The commission directed staff to draft language for public hearing consideration in August. No direct contract awards or vendor selections were made, but the meeting addressed regulatory changes that could impact future land use and development activities in the county.
