Zoned land use in Warren County, or lack thereof, will be among the points District 1 Supervisor David McDonald said he will campaign on this year.

The lone Republican on the Warren County Board of Supervisors filed Wednesday to run for a third term, meaning McDonald may face the electorate twice, in a primary Aug. 7 and, if renominated, in a general election Nov. 6.

District 1, historically, has had the most candidates, with eight or more seeking to represent what is likely the county’s fastest-growing residential area.

McDonald represents the northeastern section of the county, the only supervisor district that is entirely outside the city limits of Vicksburg. The bulk of the district’s population of 10,403 lives in subdivisions just east of U.S. 61 North and those that hug U.S. 80.

Unlike the City of Vicksburg, Warren County has no zoning laws or regulations that guide the use of land by sections, such as for commercial, residential and industrial. While most developers like the freedom, they also run the risk of having adjacent uses of land that are incompatible. For instance, a shopping mall could be adjoined by a feed lot.

While there is no overall zoning, residential developers are now required to submit plats in advance and meet road, sewer and drainage minimums.

McDonald and other supervisors have said a land- and road-use plan being crafted by Central Mississippi Planning and Development District will be the guide the county uses when the issue comes up for serious consideration in the next administration. It is expected to be done by midyear.

&#8220&#8220I’ll talk to people and see how they feel about it,” McDonald said. &#8220We’re probably headed in that direction.”

Also qualifying for re-election Wednesday was Central District Constable Rudolph Walker, trying for a second term in the post.

Walker will also appear on primary ballots, as he again filed as a Democrat.

Constables serve papers to defendants in justice court in each of the three districts here.

The other constables are Glenn McKay in the northern district and John Heggins in the southern district. Neither had filed paperwork as of Wednesday.

Other offices that will be on the ballot along with statewide offices include district attorney, sheriff, tax collector and justice court judges. All candidates must file by March 1.
