The Dawson County Board of Commissioners voted Thursday, Nov. 7 to adopt a moratorium on rezoning applications until Feb. 7, 2020. The moratorium will be in effect while the Commissioners attempt to rework the current laws around the rezoning process. Several weeks ago, discussions began amongst the Commissioners about language in the county’s ordinances that would negatively affect the rezoning process. It was decided that the Commissioners would hold off on any new applications while they work on cleaning up the ordinances, adding new zoning classifications, and ensuring that the rezoning process will be fair and efficient.
