The Lincoln-Lancaster County Planning Commission on Wednesday approved several proposed changes to the county's zoning code.
County Planner Tom Cajka described the changes as cleaning up the code and adding some "clarity" where needed.
Among the changes approved Wednesday were adding text to define accessory dwelling units; defining certain businesses, including agricultural attractions, contractor services and mini-warehouses; and adding outdoor shooting and archery ranges to the uses considered as recreational facilities.
The commission also approved what Cajka described as two "major" changes. One would allow the requirement for test wells to be waived for individual properties if adequacy of water can be proved by other means.
The other "major" change is creating a new chapter in the county zoning code dealing with historic preservation.
