Reynolds use permit for 45 animals and RV overflow
An 8.3-acre ranch off State Route 89 can now keep up to 45 horses and cows from October through April, host five RV pedestals for non-paying guests, and keep a barn inside the rear setback — with a wastewater-system condition added. Neighbors supported it and no one opposed.

The Womack appeal exposed how behind the county's rules are on shipping containers, now commonly used as affordable storage structures. Supervisor Kuknyo and two residents pushed for modern rules like Chino Valley's new ordinance.

Family Church BCC sought a use permit to build a religious institution on a 1.09-acre residentially zoned parcel in District 2.
