Planning commission unanimously advises supervisors not to exempt themselves from zoning and subdivision requirements
Summary
The Matthews County Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend that the Board of Supervisors not be exempted from the county zoning and subdivision ordinance, sending its formal recommendation to the supervisors.
The Matthews County Planning Commission on Aug. 12 voted unanimously to advise the Matthews County Board of Supervisors that the board should not be exempt from zoning and subdivision requirements.
Commissioner Wilton made the motion that the Board of Supervisors should not be exempt; the motion was seconded by Commissioner Rausch and carried by unanimous roll call. Commissioners Morgan, Rausch, Mead, Wilton, Minor, Riddle, Meeks and Cook recorded aye votes when the secretary called the roll.
Why it matters: The commission’s recommendation responds to a supervisory-level proposal to seek exemption and comes amid public interest and litigation referenced in commission discussion. The recommendation is advisory to the Board of Supervisors, which retains authority to set local policy and take final action.
Next steps: Staff will forward the commission’s unanimous recommendation to the Board of Supervisors for their consideration.
