Opponents of a new Yadkin County jail on Hoots Road are for a second time suing the county, saying a rezoning amendment violates the county zoning ordinance.
On Monday, a group of 15 residents applied for and received a 20-day extension in which to file a formal complaint concerning the rezoning.
In October, the Yadkin County Board of Commissioners approved rezoning the property that is owned by the county from highway business to a manufacturing industrial conditional use for a jail. The property is about four miles from Yadkinville.
The residents have been urging commissioners to build the jail in downtown Yadkinville instead.
Some of the same residents filed a similar lawsuit against the county in December 2007. This past July, Judge Richard Doughton of Yadkin Superior Court ruled in favor of the residents, saying that the rezoning of the Hoots Road property was improper and therefore invalid.
