Meeting Highlights:
The commissioners and Pete Palmer, Planning Director, discuss the zone code revision. At the end of a long discussion they decided that they will move forward with the changes in the text revision (the red-line document) which include the water use section, correction of typos, ministerial corrections and special uses for solar and wind power generation. Everything in the District Use Chart for the Methow Review District will revert back to what it was in the original code.
Director Palmer will also prepare a prioritized list of topics to discuss in the next zone code revision (such as the dark skies initiative, ridgetop development and multi-family dwellings) and the commissioners will commit themselves to completing this second revision.
In the BOCC meeting on Tuesday, Dec. 17, the commissioners hope to set Dec. 23 as the date to vote on the zone code revision.
Meeting adjourned at 3:20
