Full Agendas: Development Updates

Grab a blanket, a pillow, and pack a lunch...

After the 9/12 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting ended early, many agenda items were moved to the upcoming October 10th meeting. These hearings on top of the regular meeting - 7 hearings in total - will make for a long evening. This PZC meeting will follow the rescheduled Board of County Commissioners meeting that will be held (all day) on the same day. We will be there for it all!

Let's thank all of our Commissioners and County/City Staff next time we see them for staying the course and representing our community. With OVER 90 subdivisions in the pending phase, it's looking like at least another year - if not two - to get through them all. While it seems new applications have slowed down, the process isn't a short one. Hearing details are below.
