The Baldwin County Commission on Tuesday approved changes to the subdivision regulations that appear to narrow officials’ discretion in voting against developments in unzoned areas.
The amendments could reduce county officials’ ability to address neighbors’ concerns about increased flooding and other issues that might make the property unsuitable for development.
Greg Smith, a county engineer in the Highway Department — which manages the subdivision approval process — said the changes were intended to clarify the approval process and reconcile it with the authority granted to Baldwin by the state code.
