The Planning Commission held a work session to discuss the development of entrance corridor overlay districts for the county zoning ordinance. The primary goal is to protect the visual character of key corridors against development impacts. Discussion included the need for stricter buffer regulations, landscaping standards, and building setbacks compared to current ordinances. Members debated how to balance property rights, timber land management, and the visual screening of industrial or commercial uses adjacent to residential areas. The commission also reviewed previous administrative approvals and considered increasing setback requirements to 300 feet to preserve the scenic quality of the area for tourism.
