The Rowan County Board of Commissioners will consider changes to the countyís addressing ordinance Tuesday.
A public hearing on the amendments will be held at the boardís meeting at 6 p.m. Tuesday on the second floor of the J. Newton Cohen Sr. Rowan County Administration Building.
According to a memo from County GIS Coordinator Adrian Rollans, the objectives of amending the ordinance were ěto streamline the process for road naming/address changes for the Board of Commissioners,î ěto clarify administrative assignment of addressesî and ěto define and establish address procedures for greenways/trails and campgrounds.î
Changes include a new definition of greenways and an amended definition of structures to include campers. Text also has been added to establish the importance of posting addresses to emergency response.
According to the memo, the changes would reduce the amount of road petitions coming before the board, as well as save property owners time in getting new addresses assigned and inspections completed.
Also at Tuesdayís meeting, commissioners plan to:
Consider an ordinance supporting the continuance of the state Alcoholic Beverage Control System and opposing any efforts to privatize it.
