The Equestrian Working Group is a group of volunteers from across the county that provides community input on potential updates to equestrian facility code. Members share their real-world experience and knowledge of the topic to help the County better understand potential impacts and ensure transparency in the process. The group does not make policy decisions but assists with overall assessment and research which leads to recommendations. Recommendations are considered by the Planning Commission and Board of County Commissioners through the code update public process that includes a comment period and hearings.
