Included in the document are changes; highlighted in red are regulatory, discretionary, or corrections, and gray highlighted are recommendations made by the Planning Board.
Copies of the proposed ordinance are available for review or purchase (at a nominal cost) in the County Manager’s Office in the Womack Building. For additional information about these ordinances, click on the link below to review, or contact the County Planner, Cathy Ruth, at (828) 894-2732.
