Freeland Interim Ordinance
The
Board of Island County Commissioners held a public hearing for ordinance C-31-10 on April 26th,
at 2:15 in the Commissioners Hearing Room of the
Island County Annex. This ordinance adopted interim regulations for the Freeland NMUGA for
a period of six months.
The
ordinance also changed the regulation of farm
stands within the NMUGA. Under previous
versions of the interim regulations farm stands
were not allowed in the residential land use
categories. This ordinance changes this
standpoint, allowing them within select areas
along State Route 525.
