• Madison County PC weighs rural ADUs, six-lot rezoning, and sign rules (pjrnews.com) — Madison County’s Planning Commission is weighing whether to allow accessory dwelling units in agricultural and conservation zones, a move that could reshape rural housing options and density. Commissioners also advanced a six-lot rezoning on John Tucker Road, reviewed a Duet Road duplex request, and continued rewriting the county’s sign ordinance, with public hearings likely in December or January.
