Huckleberries Online received the following news releases from a group opposed to the county’s proposed Unified Land Use Code: The Kootenai County Commissioners are in the process of rewriting ALL land use code. They have hired a consultant from Colorado to write as much regulation as possible. They plan to introduce stiff new penalties for failure to follow their procedures. The proposed code makes all land uses prohibited UNLESS they are specifically allowed by the Commissioners. The Commissioners and their consultant are justifying this property rights grab by pointing to the Comprehensive Plan. The current Comprehensive Plan was drafted between 2006 and 2008 during a time of unprecedented growth. It was heavily influenced by radical environmental groups, special interests and only seven questions asked to a few hundred hand picked residents. Complete news release here.
