L.U.R.K. seeks public comment on proposed rule changes

The Land Use Regulation Commission is seeking public comment on proposed miscellaneous changes to its Chapter 5 and Chapter 10 rules.  The rules need to be revised to correct typographical errors and update references and to address several issues which have become obvious through experience gained from applying current rules.  These rule changes will facilitate the permitting process by clarifying the application of the Commission’s rules in certain circumstances.
