Lancaster County adopts county-wide zoning text amendment to set development criteria
Summary
The board adopted county text amendment 26007 July 28, a county-wide standard intended to identify criteria for prospective developments; commissioners emphasized the change is not for any single project and that special permits will still be examined on individual merits.
At a follow-up action to a July 21 public hearing, the Lancaster County Board of Commissioners adopted county text amendment 26007 to Lancaster County zoning regulations. A commissioner who moved the resolution described it as "a county-wide standard that will identify the criteria for people wishing to make developments throughout Lancaster County" and emphasized "This does not regard any specific project." The motion passed unanimously by roll call.
Commissioners framed the amendment as another step to balance public-interest protections with continued growth; the transcript records their stated intent to examine individual projects later through special-permit processes. The resolution was approved as presented at the prior week's public hearing, and the board recorded a unanimous vote in favor.
