York County Planning Commission, in defiance of much of the input at earlier public hearings have put forth a draft of the comprehensive plan that continues the same government overreach and bureaucratic tyranny in affect today.  They are intent on continuing the same path that today has the Board of Supervisors considering a tax hike to be able to prop up the bloated power hungry local government.  If left unchecked, the public servants we have elected will allow our rights to be trampled in order to secure their own power and institutionalize their authority over us.   There is a limited time to act.  Send an email to the commission at planning@yorkcounty.gov and demand that a "resident bill of rights" be a part of the comprehensive plan.   The right of an individual to do what he/she wills on and with his/her own property should not be infringed as long as it does not infringe on the rights or property of his/her neighbors. Zoning laws and property use restrictions shall be for the purpose of agreed upon growth and population density controls or matters that directly impact infrastructure and therefore costs to the county taxpayers. There shall be no restrictions on a persons right to engage in commerce, produce food, or take full advantage of all rights protected by the constitution of the United States of America. Any fees for exceptions to ordinances should be based on the impact the activity has to the taxpayer, not simply to pay for the bureaucracy responsible for requiring the exception. Be at the hearing at 7 PM on February 13th to let them know you are in charge. Follow the links below for more information on the Comprehensive Plan and the public hearing.
