The Oneida County Planning and Development Committee covered a range of departmental and zoning matters at its Feb. 18 meeting; aside from the conditional use permit approval and the POWTS motion, most items were for discussion only.
The committee tabled consideration of retroactive tourist rooming house administrative review permits (ARPs).
