Narrative Summary

Summary

The York County Council held a regular meeting on June 16, 2025, with all seven members present. The agenda was heavily weighted toward consent-item approvals, covering five second-reading rezonings, multiple procurement and facilities contracts, and several capital improvement authorizations. Council also held a public hearing and approved a third-reading ordinance to reconstitute the Economic Development Board, with an amendment adopted to clarify membership structure and the board's advisory role. Two first-reading zoning code amendments — one converting AGC-I and RUD-I to legacy district status, and one revising family exemption land division rules and shipping container standards — were advanced unanimously.

    Council to consider First Reading of an ordinance to amend Chapter 155: Zoning Code, Subchapter B: Zoning Districts, to convert Agricultural Conservation-I (AGC-I) and Rural Development-I (RUD-I) to legacy district status

    The draft amendment converts AGC-I and RUD-I to legacy districts. The County currently has one other legacy district: Urban Development (UD). This essentially "retires" a zoning district. All properties currently zoned for those districts would remain in them, unless and until rezoned to a different district in the future. All applicable uses and standards for those districts are proposed to remain the same. The districts would no longer be an option to rezone into from another district. The draft amendment adds assisted living as a special exception to AGC and also proposes to add hunting clubs, landscape supply, both types of craft breweries, and solar farms to RUD as special exception uses.

    Council to consider First Reading of an ordinance to amend Chapter 154: Land Development Code, Subchapter A: Introduction to modify the family exemption land division, and Chapter 155: Zoning Code, Subchapter B: Zoning Districts, to revise minimum lot width on arterial roads and setbacks in the AGC and AGC-I districts, and Subchapter C: Use Regulations to revise accessory use conditions for shipping containers

    The draft amendment substantially revises the family exemption to broaden eligibility by eliminating a minimum parent parcel size and halving the years of ownership required, cap the number of exempted parcels that can be divided, and ensuring that the residual parcel still meets the minimum district size. The changes also allow the grantee parcel to be as small as one acre, regardless of zoning district. The amendment revises the arterial lot width in the rural and residential districts from 350 feet to 150 feet lot width, and revises the front yard setback in AGC to 50 feet instead of 100 feet. The amendment also significantly expands the applicability of shipping containers as a conditional accessory use, allowing shipping containers on any lot of 1.5 acres or greater, and allowing up to 10 total containers on a lot, based on a sliding scale of the lot's size.
