Resolution

WHEREAS, the Lewis County Planning Commission found that the extraction of ground and surface water for bottled water and/or facilities for producing bottled water in the Rural Development and LAMIRD zoning districts is inconsistent with protecting the rural character of the county; and

WHEREAS, the Lewis County Planning Commission recommends to the Board of County Commissioners changes to Chapter 17.10 of the Lewis County Code, amending the definition for “food and beverage manufacturing” to exclude from this definition the extraction of ground and surface water for bottled water and/or facilities for producing bottled water, a use allowed in the Rural Development and LAMIRD zoning districts; and

WHEREAS, the Planning Commission also recommends adding a new definition for “bottled water” to Chapter 17.10 of the Lewis County Code.

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that a hearing before the Board of County Commissioners is hereby scheduled for February 24, 2020, to take public testimony and/or written comment on the adoption of Ordinance 1315, amending Chapter 17.10 of the Lewis County Code; and

NOW THEREFORE BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Clerk of the BOCC is hereby instructed to proceed with all appropriate and necessary notifications, posting and publication for the changes as required by law.

DONE IN OPEN SESSION this 27th day of January, 2020.
