Earlier this month, county commission passed the six month moratorium on Planned Unit Developments, PUD's. PUD overlays allow for greater density, smaller lots and lesser setbacks.

Thus far, nearly all the input from the public is heavily in favor of curbing residential over growth in the county and preserving the rural areas and preventing the county from being over built like Hardin Valley, west Knox County and for that matter Lenoir City.

This meeting is being held in the 5th district but anyone interested is welcome to attend.

More meetings are planned in other districts in the near future.
