The Board of Commissioners decided in it first meeting of 2007 to approve a 90-day moratorium on residential rezoning for applications submitted after June 5, 2007. There is an option to extend the moratorium by 90 days in place.
Commissioner Dave Richard, who is considered to be one of the commissioners who is concerned about rampant development, said "the county must slow down rezonings to study county infrastructure and assure the county could support any further development that is approved."
The moratorium was the first order of business on the agenda for the new Board. Two of the major issues are traffic congestion which is already saturated and there is not enough water to go around for the current residents. Schools get overcrowded as soon as they are built and county services are unable to keep up with growth.
So, any thoughts on how the temporary moratorium (shorter than the last one) will affect our business? If we are looking at a standing inventory of homes of 10-12 months for 2007, can this be a good thing?
