The Lincoln County Board of Commissioners opened a public hearing at 10:01 A.M. to consider amendments to Article 5 of the county zoning regulations to reflect recent state legislative updates to conditional-use permit procedures. Lincoln County Planning Director Judy Clark summarized the proposed changes and said planning staff recommends approval.
