Planning Board Meeting

The Burke County Planning Board will meet on March 28th to discuss two significant items impacting the community. The first is a proposed change to the county's zoning ordinance, which would allow for more flexible zoning through conditional zoning – a process that incorporates site plans and specific conditions. The second item is a public hearing regarding the Jonas Ridge Cranberry Bog Park, including consideration of its master plan and potential funding through a state grant program.

Both items will involve presentations, public comment periods, and ultimately, votes from the Planning Board. Residents interested in understanding how these decisions might affect their property or access to recreational spaces are encouraged to attend the meeting or review the full agenda documents available online. Please note that a separate rezoning application for Great Meadows will not be discussed at this meeting and is expected to return at a later date.
