April 25, 2014 Volume 8 1 Issue 8 <br />Zoning Bulletin <br />WASHINGTON <br />The Bainbridge Island Planning Commission has proposed regulations on <br />new marijuana businesses. Reportedly, the regulations would permit growing <br />on Residential-0.4 zoned property (which allows one home on 2.5 acres) and <br />on a minimum lot size of one acre. Pursuant to state -mandate, additional condi- <br />tions imposed under the proposed regulations would include: setbacks, buf- <br />fers, and screening under the city staff's advisement. <br />Source: Bainbridge Island Review; www.bainbridgereview.com <br />WISCONSIN <br />Members of the Ashland County Zoning Committee recently approved a <br />measure that imposes a temporary shoreland zoning moratorium that affects <br />land use permits for the Town of La Pointe. Their action was expected to be <br />approved by the full board at the next meeting. "The action comes as a re- <br />sponse to a recent State Court of Appeals ruling that stripped the ability of <br />towns to create their own zoning rules. . . . If passed by the full county board, <br />the ordinance will remain in place until the County can adopt what are es- <br />sentially the same zoning requirements exercised by the town of La Pointe, <br />requirements that are more restrictive than shoreland zoning districts <br />elsewhere in the county." <br />Source: The Daily Press; www.ashlandwi.com <br />12 © 2014 Thomson Reuters <br />
