Summary

Supervisor Tedlock moved and the board approved a referral asking the planning commission to review the B1 business zoning prohibition on bulk storage tanks and consider whether conditional use permits would be appropriate; the motion passed by voice vote.

Supervisor Tedlock asked the Northumberland County Board of Supervisors to ask the planning commission to review the county's B1 business zoning regulation concerning bulk storage tanks and to advise whether the existing prohibition remains appropriate.

"I'd like to request that the planning commission review the current B1 business zoning regulation regarding bulk storage tanks and for them to provide a recommendation to our board as to whether the existing ... prohibition is still current or relevant or appropriate," Tedlock said, and moved that the commission consider whether conditional use permits should be allowed on B1 parcels. The motion was seconded and approved by voice vote.

The board did not specify a timeline for the planning commission's recommendation during the June 15 meeting. The referral directs the planning commission to analyze the current B1 standards and return a recommendation to the board; any change to allow conditional use permits would require the commission's report and subsequent board action.
