May 2007 Revision:A provision in the Kentucky Revised Statutes, KRS 100.2111, allows an alternative regulation for zoning map amendments. This method does not require the legislative body to act upon the Planning Commission recommendation unless they choose to do so, or unless an aggrieved party requests the legislative body to act upon the zoning change. The zoning change would become effective automatically if the Planning Commission recommended approval 21 days after the recommendation is made. In April and May of 2007 Daviess County, the City of Owensboro and the City of Whitesville adopted text amendments to the Owensboro Metropolitan Zoning Ordinance that allow the alternative regulation to be implemented. This method will reduce the amount of time for a zoning change request to become complete. Notices to request the legislative body to decide the zoning change request are available in the OMPC office. See Article 6 for text changes.
