Petition Submitted

BOONE, Iowa---The Boone County Board of Supervisors have officially received a petition calling for amending the county's zoning ordinance to eliminate the language for a Conservation Overlay. More than 800 signatures were included on the petitions that have circulated since late November. The matter will now be referred to the Zoning Commission where the issue will be investigated. Eventually, the Commission will forward a recommendation back to the Supervisors. The language was left in the ordinance when it was adopted a couple of years ago, but related maps and regulations were not included.
