We’re moving into the next phase of the Land Use & Development Ordinance (LUDO) rewrite. Our goal is to replace eight confusing, overlapping sets of rules with one clear, consistent document that works for everyone.
We are currently in the beginning of Phase 2: Legal Review & Advisory Workshops. This phase allows time for the county’s legal team to review the initial draft and provide revisions while the Planning & Development staff workshop the draft with the Advisory Committee, Planning Council, and Commission. Staff will then prepare an updated draft based on the feedback they receive from these groups.
How can you get involved? Public Hearings will be scheduled in late April to early June.
Public hearings are your chance to share feedback on the proposed ordinance draft. Testimony can be shared in person or via email. More details will be published when the hearings are scheduled.
In the meantime, you can review the proposed changes and see the summaries of public input online at bannockcounty.gov/ourfuture.
