Under Article 4 titled, Legislative we are adding one additional amendment section 4.11 titled:
“Approval by Vote of Electors Required for Amendments to Land Development Regulations”.
“No text amendment to the zoning code or other land development regulations that would create a new zoning district, or that would amend any definition of a term used in the land development regulations, or that would have the effect of allowing a use not currently permitted, increased residential density, additional hotel or other accommodation units per acre, or increased lot coverage, height, or floor area ratio, shall be effective until approved by 60% of the electors voting on the amendment.”
If successful Amendment 4.11 will change our charter allowing residents to vote on future zoning and land development regulations.
By changing the law, residents will protect the Village regardless of future mayor's and future elected council members that have a different "Vision" for Pinecrest.
Amendment 4.11 puts the power back in the hands of the residents. It's our Village & we should vote on future zoning changes that will impact our quality of life for generations to come.
Our goal is to keep Pinecrest the way it is.
