I'm glad to see Cole County finally going forward with zoning. This will help the area develop in a planned and responsible manner.

I agree Jenni. this is a very politcally difficult decision for the County Commission to make. Many in the county believe ANY restrictions on Property not acceptable. Many of us believe however that this is a very good thing for the county so that orderly development can occur. Kudos to Ellinger, Wrigley and Hoelscher. Now it is up to us to get involved in the plan to make sure it is the best for us.!

Planning and zoning is a touchy subject anywhere you go in Missouri due to the large amount of misinformation put out what those two actually do. In relation to the most of the counties in the state (who don't have planning or zoning), Cole County is definitely heading in the right direction.

Voluntary annexation would be a much better solution.

They need to adopt BOCA building codes county-wide, including Jefferson City.
