Planning Commission will Recommend the Overlay Zone be Approved!

We are delighted to report that the Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the Overlay Zone. Four of the seven commissioners were present and those four voted yes. They recommended that one section be stricken--the one about a 15mph speed limits on dirt roads. 

We had a really good representation of people from Pine Valley in attendance and others who weren’t able to attend were watching on Zoom. Thank you all for your participation in this process all along the way and thank you to those who spoke today. The Planning Commissioners were again very complimentary of the work that has been done and especially of the large participation of community members. They said this is the way that local government should happen. GOOD JOB PINE VALLEY! 

The next step is for the proposal to go before the County Commission for the final vote. We will be either on the May 17th agenda or June 7. We will need crowds for that meeting too, so please mark your calendars. As soon as we know the date for sure, we will let you know. If you haven’t already sent messages to the three County Commissioners, now is the time to email, write letters, visit or however you want to communicate your support of the Overlay Zone.
