County Planners Prioritize Ag Lands
County planners are looking at making some possible changes to how agricultural lands can be used in Whatcom County.
Planners and consultants met last night at Cornwall Church to discuss a plan for rearranging parcels of ag lands to make sure that farmers don't build on land that is most valuable for growing.
Samya Lutz with Whatcom County Planning and Development Services says the reconfiguration would shift future development potential to areas that are least valuable as farmland.
Lutz says farmers would not gain or lose any development rights under the proposal, they would just get shifted around.
She also says the plan would also have no affect on property values.
The County Planning Office is noted for being top-down nanny-statist. They grab power, centralize it and then our property taxes go up to fund their activities. I know a lot of local developers and each one of them hates dealing with planning...
