Zoning & Land Use Planning

A perception exists that development patterns in Sheridan County are random, producing an undesirable and inefficient mix of land uses. Perhaps more critical in terms of economic development, zoning and planning are not coordinated between the municipalities and County, resulting in a cumbersome permitting and approval process for developers. Developers and builders are not educated on the process. No solid, comprehensive plan exists to guide development in the County.
