Commercial Demand
Multiple vehicle-related commercial uses (car wash, vehicle sales, vehicle maintenance) are seeking approvals across the county, suggesting continued demand for automotive service retail.
Sentiment
Town Advisory Boards expressed repeated concerns about developments using waivers to circumvent code requirements, with one board stating planned unit developments were being used to make sites 'too complex' at the expense of community benefit.
Infrastructure
Public Works staff raised safety concerns about driveway geometrics and access configurations on multiple projects, indicating stricter scrutiny of traffic circulation in new developments.
