Warren County panel recommends rejecting shooting range proposals

The Warren County zoning commission recommended rejecting competing proposals for shooting ranges, making the proposals the subject of a formal county zoning action.

The recommendation

The commission’s recommendation applies to competing shooting range proposals in Warren County. The action does not establish that either proposal was approved. It records the commission’s recommendation to reject them.

The commission’s recommendation is the central decision reported in connection with the proposals. Details about the commission’s vote, the reasons for the recommendation, the proposed locations and the applicants are not stated here.

What happens next

The recommendation moves the issue to the next stage of county review. The record available for this article does not identify the body that will take the next action or when that action is scheduled.

A recommendation and a final decision are separate steps in a zoning matter. Any later county action would determine whether either proposal advances, is rejected or is otherwise changed.

Why it matters

Shooting range proposals can involve land-use questions addressed through county zoning. In this case, the Warren County zoning commission has recommended rejection of the competing proposals, putting the commission’s position on the record.
