If you're going to be needing the assistance of the Morro Bay Planning Department, make sure you're not in a hurry. The Morro Bay City Council voted 4-1 to not replace the two (out of three) planners that are leaving in mid-summer. Waits for permit reviews, counter assistance, and phone assitance will be longer. The city council is waiting for the budget to be approved before it looks to replace the planners.
