Comp Rezoning - here we go!

Over the past several weeks, I have hosted a series of community meetings to provide information and solicit feedback regarding the upcoming Comprehensive Rezoning for District 6. Over 100 residents attended these meetings, and there was a good information exchange. Also, last night (6/16), the Planning Advisory Board (PAB) conducted a "listening session" for the public to comment on proposed amendment requests. The three community meetings and the PAB hearing were all very valuable for me as your District 6 representative. Thanks to all of you who attended.

The next phase of the Comprehensive Rezoning process begins on Monday night, June 20. The Comp Rezoning Bill, #44-11, will have a public hearing at the County Council meeting. This is the best opportunity for residents to voice their opinions on any proposals within the bill, or any of the amendment requests. There is expected to be a very large turnout, so if you plan to testify, be prepared to stay a while.
