## Summary

The upcoming Planning Board meeting on January 26th will primarily focus on a request from Givens Highland Farms LLC to annex their property and rezone it for office and institutional use. This proposal, located at 318 Tabernacle Road, could significantly impact the surrounding area and will be a key point of discussion. The board will also vote on approving the agenda for the meeting and reviewing minutes from a previous session, which included preliminary approvals for two new subdivisions.

A major decision expected at the meeting is whether to approve the Givens Highland Farms annexation and rezoning request. Residents will have an opportunity to provide public comment on this proposal during the meeting. Additionally, staff is working on updates to the town's development regulations (Unified Development Ordinance), and workshops are planned in January and February.

For those interested, the meeting will be held at Town Hall Council Chambers on January 26th at 6:00 PM. The board's decision regarding Givens Highland Farms will have lasting implications for the community, making this a meeting of particular interest to residents and business owners.
