Land Use Board | July 21, 2026

The Union County Land Use Board held a meeting on July 21, 2026, focusing on several land use and zoning matters. Key procurement-related discussions included the approval of a special use permit amendment for a wedding venue parking lot, ensuring compliance with county development ordinances and building codes. The board also approved a variance request related to lot size requirements for a property with an existing manufactured home, addressing hardships caused by a public right-of-way. Additionally, the board reviewed a rezoning request from residential agricultural to heavy industrial for a 26-acre parcel; however, due to the applicant's absence and concerns about existing site violations and lack of information, the board voted to table the rezoning decision pending further investigation. The meeting also involved detailed discussions on subdivision regulations, including minor versus major subdivision thresholds, family subdivision standards, and recommendations for resetting parent parcel dates, which will be forwarded to the county commissioners for further consideration. No direct contract awards or vendor selections were made, but the board addressed policy and regulatory matters that could impact future land development and procurement activities.
