Board meetings and strategic plans from Johnston County
The board held a town hall meeting to present and gather feedback on the draft Unified Development Ordinance (UDO). Discussions centered on community concerns regarding land development density, infrastructure capacity, and property rights. Residents raised issues about proposed buffer requirements, zoning exceptions for developers, and the impacts on existing agriculture. Staff provided clarifications on state legislative mandates affecting zoning, explained the role of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan in decision-making, and confirmed the removal of limits on farm animals from the draft ordinance.
The Board meeting included the approval of department additions to the state road system, authorization of an audit contract, and the adoption of a revised procurement policy for federal funds. The Board discussed and approved the surplus of equipment via public auction and various budget revisions for county departments, including fire districts, the sheriff's office, and social services. Several citizen comments were heard regarding the proposed Unified Development Ordinance, concerns about livestock and zoning, and specific questions about county personnel policies. The Board received a presentation on a remote tower funding proposal for the Johnston Regional Airport and approved matching funds for its construction, contingent on federal grant approval. Additionally, an update was provided on the Johnston County Area Transit System, detailing facility upgrades, ridership growth, and planning for urban zone funding.
