It is staff’s professional opinion that the proposed change is consistent with the County’s Comprehensive Plan.
What Action will be accomplished?
If the Board of County Commissioners approves this large-scale plan amendment and its associated EM zoning, it will allow the applicant/property owner to apply for a commercial excavation permit.
