This is a County-initiated request to add Agricultural/Residential Rural (A/RR) for applicability of the 50-foot compatibility zone, and to add a new Subsection H. “Four or more loading/unloading areas, docking facilities, and their accessory truck parking areas” for additional requirements for fencing, buffers, setbacks and prohibitions. State law requires one Planning Commission hearing, which was held on December 4, 2024, where the Planning Commission recommended approval (Vote:7-0).
