Pike commissioners extended the zoning moratorium 60 days from Aug. 9 and heard the county’s audit during their July 25 meeting. At their May 10 meeting, commissioners established a 90-day moratorium in order to allow the planning and zoning director to update county zoning codes and ordinances.
“I’m not in favor of contracting out this job, we have someone in-house who is 100% capable of doing it, we just need to slow down rezoning and subdivision requests so he can focus on getting it done,” said county manager Brandon Rogers at the May meeting. “It’s a lot of work and all of the codes are interlocked together. It’s not an easy and quick fix for sure.”
The moratorium delays zoning and land use decisions such as major subdivisions, rezonings, zoning applications, variances and special exceptions but does not stop administrative acts such as plat review or minor subdivisions.
Commissioners were also presented with the annual audit for Fiscal Year 2021-22 by Driver, Adams and Sharpe.
