The Reno County Commission approved a change to the county’s zoning regulations on Tuesday that eliminates the need for someone with more than two acres of property to get permission before constructing accessory buildings that exceed 2,000 square feet on the property. The board also approved a conditional use permit allowing the Sheriff’s Department to construct a new firearms range on county property at the south end of the Reno County landfill.
