Planning board approves amendment to Powder House Pass master plan

The Lawrence County Planning & Zoning Board voted to approve an amendment to the Powder House Pass community improvement district (CID) master plan intended to tighten how commercial development will be measured and permitted within that subdivision. Amber, the county planning staff member presenting the item, said the change replaces a previously open-ended commercial allocation with usage-based sewer and water standards that the developer’s engineers must demonstrate they can meet. "The amendment is so that we can, have a better process of looking at commercial development within that subdivision," Amber said.
