PUBLIC HEARING: Franconia Triangle (Planning Commission)

Wednesday, April 29 (continued from 4/6/25)

Franconia Triangle

PA 2023-00006 (SSPA 2023-IV-2S)

AGENDA

Staff Report

On April 11, 2023, the Board of Supervisors authorized the consideration of a Plan amendment for Recommendation Area #3 of the S-9 Beulah Community Planning Sector, including but not limited to specific considerations for the proposed land use mix and density/intensity proposed for land areas within the study area accepted into the 2022- 2023 Countywide SSPA process (CPN22-LE-003).

The Planning Commission (PC) will review the Staff Report, hear public comments, and make a recommendation to the Board of Supervisors (BOS). Similarly, the BOS will review the staff report with the PC’s recommendations, hear public comments, and ultimately make a decision on the site-specific planning amendment (SSPA).

Following all Public Hearings, the PC and BOS may make changes to the Staff’s recommendations, request addition information, and/or defer a decision to a later date. Deferrals have become very popular by both bodies, and a decision is later made as a “decision only” meeting, though still public. Decision-only meetings usually include comments by the planning commissioners or board supervisors to explain their votes.
