July 22, 2024, Planning Board Agenda Packet

The Black Mountain Planning Board will meet on July 22nd at Town Hall to discuss several items, with a primary focus on a proposed update to the town's zoning regulations. A significant portion of the meeting will be dedicated to a Text Amendment Request concerning Data Processing Centers, which could impact land use and development within the community. The board will also be electing officers and reviewing minutes from a previous meeting, as well as addressing any communications or updates from staff.

A key decision expected at the July 22nd meeting is further consideration of how Data Processing Centers should be defined and regulated within Black Mountain. The board has been reviewing proposed changes to the zoning ordinance, including whether these centers should require a special use permit or be considered a limited use. Residents may want to attend or follow the meeting as these changes could affect future development and potentially impact property values and neighborhood character.

Following discussions, town staff will revise the draft ordinance based on board feedback and present examples of how these new standards might apply to available parcels. The Planning Board will continue this discussion at a future meeting, so staying informed about these developments is important for anyone interested in the town's zoning and land use policies.
