The Howard County commissioners approved two rezoning ordinances and two one‑lot subdivisions in a single consent‑style sequence during their meeting.
Planning Commissioner Sheeline introduced two rezoning requests: Ordinance 2026 BCCO‑05 (rezoning property at 906 S 950 W from agricultural to rural residential) and Ordinance 2026 BCCO‑06 (rezoning 11990 W 350 N from agricultural to rural residential).
