Attorney advises Planning Commission to update subdivision and zoning rules
Summary
At the Aug. 12 meeting, the commission’s attorney said Pegram’s subdivision regulations are out of date compared with zoning rules; she recommended changes to avoid site-plan requirements for small structures and to require map-and-parcel information when advertising rezoning.
Martha Brooke Perry, the Planning Commission’s attorney, told commissioners on Aug. 12 that the town’s subdivision regulations are older and do not align with current zoning regulations, and she recommended a review of the codes.
"The subdivision regulations are older and don’t match some of the zoning regulations," Perry told the commission. She said the review should consider changes so that small structures such as carports and storage sheds would not require site plans, and that rezoning notices should include map and parcel information.
The remarks were made as part of the chairman’s announcements; the transcript records the attorney identifying the bond-renewal item and raising these regulatory issues. No formal motion or vote on code changes occurred at the meeting, and the record shows no public comment on the topic.
Commissioners did not adopt any code amendments at the session. The attorney’s remarks indicate staff or commissioners may pursue an internal review and possible code revisions; the meeting record does not specify next steps or a timeline for any amendments.
