01.10.22 PM - BOCC
Meeting Highlights:
Director of Planning, Pete Palmer, presents a lengthy update to the Commissioners. She covers several minor topics as well as:
Ordinance 2020-3, concerning the lower Tunk Valley. It expired in Dec. 2020, but it’s still included in the County Code, which is an error that Code Publishers should correct.
Ordinance 2021-1, prohibiting new subdivisions in WRIA 48 was discussed.
Ordinance 2021-8, establishing a temporary moratorium on issuing building permits. The BOCC voted to repeal it by a vote of 2-1 instead of letting it expire in 30 days.
Ordinance 2021-4, the District Use of Chart Moratorium. It has expired and PP has a draft to be adopted in the zoning code when the BOCC considers that.
Ordinance 2021-9, the Cannabis Ordinance. It expires on Feb. 24, but AH would like to extend it until the County gets a good grip on subleases, etc.
