Planning commission backs Route 33 gateway small‑area plan with two amendments including emergency access for Wind’s Church Road

After a multi‑hour presentation and public comment session focused on access, traffic and buffers, the commission recommended approval of the Route 33 gateway small‑area plan (about 900 acres) with two amendments: shifting the first ~1,400 feet of east‑side Route 33 land use from commercial to industrial while keeping a 200‑foot buffer, and making the Wind’s Church Road access an emergency access with a 50‑foot right of way.
