The moratorium on fourteen different land uses has been approved by the Buncombe County Board of Commissioners. Commissioner David Gantt says this respects property rights. This is a temporary substitute for the zoning ordinance the commissioners attempted to pass recently. It is expected that the zoning ordinance which was ruled to be invalid – not because it trampled Constitutionally-protected property rights, but because noticing requirements were not met – will go into effect ASAP.
