What is required for a major exception exceeding 1/3 acre?

The requirement for a major exception exceeding 1/3 acre is a 30-day public notice. This process is important because it ensures that the community and stakeholders have adequate time to review and comment on the proposed changes that may significantly impact land use, environmental conditions, or local development. By requiring this notice period, authorities facilitate transparency and public participation in decision-making processes, which can ultimately lead to more informed and consensus-driven outcomes.

This requirement is designed to foster community engagement and allow for any potential concerns or objections to be voiced and considered before approvals are granted, ensuring that the implications of the exception are fully understood and addressed.
