The Finney County Commission approved amendments to two county zoning regulations at its meeting Monday, changing rules regarding the transfer of conditional use permits and temporary signage.
Under an amendment to Article 28 in the zoning regulations, a conditional use permit for a certain property can be transferred twice to two separate entities if the transfer is for the same use, according to the amendment. The transfer includes a $200 fee, is granted at the Neighborhood and Development Services’ discretion and is conditional on the new owner not changing more than 10 percent of the building footprint.
The change allows Neighborhood and Development Services to speed up the conditional use program by eliminating the usual four- to six-week waiting period, said Kaleb Kentner, Neighborhood and Development Services director. The commission also approved an amendment to Article 24 in the regulations in regards to temporary sign permits. The updated regulation removes fees for temporary signs and states that all temporary signage is permitted as long as it is displayed for less than 30 consecutive days, meets the standards of the zoning district and doesnb’t block public right of way.
