…A Pound of Cure• Proactive policies for prosperous communities
• Allow appropriate-scale variances that would encourage Smart Growth in Madison County, as outlined in the Comprehensive Plan
• “Continue to pay special attention to proposed development to ensure smart growth patterns continue by concentrating growth to those areas within the Urban Corridor, Rural Corridor and Rural Community designated boundaries.” (Comp Plan, p. 98)
• "Will granting of the variance be contrary to the public's interests and will it impact the public health, safety, and welfare?”
