1 V1_Planning review is complete.

Please see planning comments provided in green boxes on the following documents:
- Letter of Intent
- Site Plan Drawing

Additional comments will be provided as more details are known. Any inclusion of equipment, materials, or supplies having any involvement with Adept Building Solutions will not be allowed through a Rural Home Occupation as Special Use application due to the hazardous material aspect of the business.

Also note that a full Site Development Plan will be required following any Special Use (or Variance of Use) application. Review of a Site Development Plan ensures compliance with Chapters 5 and 6 of the Land Development Code.

For easy reference, the Special Use review checklist has been uploaded to the EDARP project along with the home Occupation and Special Use sections of Code.
