# Joint BOC Planning & Zoning Meeting - October 6, 2026

The Douglas County joint Planning and Zoning Board and Board of Commissioners meeting on October 6, 2026, addressed meeting minutes, a public right-of-way abandonment, short-term rental permits, and a commercial rezoning request. The September 1 minutes were approved unanimously. The boards approved the abandonment of a wooded section of public right-of-way at the terminus of Butler Drive, finding no anticipated loss of property access or adverse effects on services or public welfare. Special use permits for short-term rentals were approved for 2232 Highway 92 (with conditions to remove gravel from the roadway and install a 40-foot landscape strip with a paved driveway segment), 1050 Huey Road (S2026-65), 2047 Chestnut Log Drive (S2026-66), and 4850 Lehi Drive (S2026-67). The approvals were reported as unanimous; no procurement or spending activity was identified.

The board also considered rezoning application Z2026-81 for a proposed 5,000-square-foot commercial building at 11651 Veterans Memorial Highway. Staff recommended denial, citing concerns about consistency with the comprehensive plan, potential impacts on nearby residences, and incomplete review of a recently submitted soil report. The applicant described reducing the proposal from three buildings with outdoor storage to one building without outdoor storage. The discussion included whether to defer the matter so staff could complete its review, potentially for the November 4 meeting, but the transcript ends before any final motion or disposition is captured.
