Planning Commission Passes Bells Bend Neighborhood Plan w/o MTC-Friendly Alternative

Commissioners support Bells Bend neighborhood by passing their plan and indefinitely deferring the Planning Department's alternative, which would have allowed bridges and urban developments to sprawl across the Bend.

This is exactly they way the Commission should have voted: in support of the neighborhood with a grow-slow approach to development. Erring on the side of caution, environmental sensitivity, and local determination was the wise course.
