The Gallatin City Council voted 4-2 Tuesday night during a work study session to defer until March 2 a decision on an ordinance that would amend the city’s zoning ordinance and not allow mining and quarrying extractive activities in the city of Gallatin, its planning region and its urban growth boundaries.

“The council voted to defer the decision until March 2 for second reading,” said Tony Allers, director of the city’s Codes and Planning Department. “Included in that vote was the understanding the council would also vote on another ordinance that would require the establishment of quarry and mining districts.”
