Mariposa planning commission continues multi‑year development code rewrite, flags limits on nonconforming uses and watershed rules

Mariposa County planning staff and consultant Minteer Harnish presented Articles 1, 6, 7 and 8 of a consolidated development code on Feb. 21 and asked the Planning Commission to take preliminary action to move those administrative chapters forward; commissioners instead directed extensive edits on nonconforming use limits, permit‑revocation language and watershed rules and asked staff to return with revised text before any vote.
