The report noted a connection between the strictness of the regulations being imposed and the degree to which the community has changed. In this study we found that the worse the situation and the greater the change, that is, the closer the community was to losing what had made it unique and desirable in the first place, the more stringent the growth management procedures became. In our study none of the communities installed them early enough. Fortunately, that option is still available for the San Juans. The report was distributed to the three county commissioners on Friday, May 26.
Copies are available through the county planning department.
