If Promised Lord’s amendment is approved, “you could leave churches as a use permitted by right until this (the current) ordinance goes out,” Konick said. In order to get the proper authorization in place as soon as possible, the zoning administrator suggested that the supervisors and planning commissioners hold a joint public hearing on the amendment to allow churches as a use by right in an agricultural zone
No Short Cuts
“We’ve gotten into tremendous trouble in the past with joint public hearings. We’ve made some mistakes. It’s a short cut and it generally backfires,” countered Miller. “We all vowed we would never do it again.”
Konick replied that the planning commissioners and supervisors could hold backto-back hearings with the supervisors advertising their meeting for the required two weeks before getting a recommendation from the planners on the proposed zoning amendment.
“That’s another short cut,” Miller responded, shaking his head in objection.
Addressing another point, the zoning administrator noted that Promised Land Church is situated right on the road. “I don’t know exactly what they’re trying to do but I hope they don’t have setback problems.”
“I wish there was a way it (the approvals for the church enlargement) could be handled administratively—a legal way,” Miller stated. “Justice would be better served...This is one of the frailties of this ordinance.”
