COMMISSIONERS DENY PLANNING COMMISSION'S RECOMMENDED LAND USE CODE UPDATE
In a meeting attended by an estimated 400-plus citizens, County Commissioners denied suggested changes to the county's certified Land Use Code. After more than 50 oral comments and dozens of written statements, Commissioners voted down the Planning Commission's Certified Copy of the Land Use Code dated November 16, 2022, leaving the original 2021 code in place. They also voted down additional changes to the Nov. 16 version.
The meeting, held at the Delta Family Center, accommodated the largest group of citizens since 2004 when the county floated the idea of building codes, another hotly debated topic.
Commissioners agreed to a work session this morning at 9am to discuss next steps. Results from this meeting are expected to direct staff and the Planning Commission, all of which will come back to County Commissioners for review.
