LDR amendment LDR 26-11: Act 250 Tier 1A review of conditions
The Commission continued and then closed the public hearing on an LDR amendment that gives the DRB authority to review prior Act 250 permit conditions in City Center (the form-based code area) once the city receives Act 250 Tier 1A status. Staff estimated about a dozen existing Act 250 permits in the FBC area. The vote to close the hearing was unanimous (all five members). Staff recommended holding final action until the November 24 meeting so it can be voted with the other Tier 1A amendments.
