Commissioners amend land use code, limiting setback reductions to up to 25% of the 1,000-foot standard for confined animal feeding operations

Delta County commissioners approved a land-use code amendment on Nov. 3 that limits setback reductions for confined animal feeding operations to no more than 25% of the 1,000-foot standard. The change was the final of three recent amendments to the county code. Commissioners said the decision followed recommendations from the Planning Commission and public comments at several meetings.
