Cherokee County planning commission approves buffer and setback variances, denies Highway 92 sign request

Cherokee County Planning Commission members on April 10 approved a package of property‑development variances — including a request that allows grading and a retaining wall into county stream buffers to accommodate a Cherokee County Water & Sewer Authority headquarters — and approved reduced front setbacks for two new Lake Arrowhead residential phases, while denying a request to allow a non‑monument freestanding sign in the Highway 92 overlay.
