Following a hearing with the state’s Public Integrity Commission, Rehoboth Beach Planning Commissioner Rachel Macha has recused herself from the Clear Space hearing set to resume Friday, Feb. 26. Macha’s recusal comes after members of the public questioned her impartiality. She had independently contacted a sound engineer who submitted a report to the planning commission regarding potential noise levels from the theater’s two-building project at 413, 415 and 417 Rehoboth Ave. The report in question was submitted on behalf of a group of people who appealed, and won reversal of, the planning commission’s approval of the project back in August. City commissioners required the planning commission to conduct a second public hearing on the matter; the hearing was held Jan. 29.
