Morton County Planning and Zoning Commission 2026-06-24

The Morton County Planning and Zoning Commission held a meeting on June 24, 2026, focusing primarily on subdivision reconfigurations and zoning map amendments. Key procurement-related discussions included the approval of the Ericson subdivision final plat, which involved reconfiguring existing lot boundaries and rezoning from agricultural to residential to reduce nonconformity. Similarly, the N's Third subdivision was reviewed for boundary adjustments and zoning changes from agricultural to residential and estate classifications. The commission also discussed updates to the land use code, particularly standardizing setback requirements for accessory structures across zoning categories to 20 feet from rear property lines, aiming to reduce variance requests and clarify building regulations. Motions to approve the subdivision plats and the setback amendments were passed unanimously. Additionally, the meeting addressed board member appointments and retirements, with no direct procurement contracts or budget allocations discussed.
