Malabar planning board hears state‑required comprehensive plan update; agrees to preserve rural character

Consultants from Kimley‑Horn told the Malabar Planning & Zoning Board that a state‑required Evaluation and Appraisal Report finds the town largely residential with capacity to meet 10–20 year projections; the board agreed to keep Recreation/Open Space zoning and requested a full strike‑through draft and map color updates for further review.
