Rezoning hearing postponed; residents press for clearer notice and consistent scheduling

A rezoning matter affecting a parcel identified in the public discussion was not held at the meeting after county staff said paperwork on the county side was not completed correctly.

Members of the public who came for the rezoning hearing said they need reliable notice to arrange time off and gather to speak. Commissioners and staff acknowledged conflicting information on the county website and said the planning commission and rezoning hearing would be rescheduled when the legal and administrative paperwork is complete. County staff indicated the item was tentatively scheduled for Oct. 16 at 6 p.m., but emphasized that date depends on corrected documentation.

Commissioners said they would not vote on the rezoning until legal and administrative requirements — including required filings — are in order. County staff offered to broaden outreach and to return the item to the agenda once the paperwork and notices are correct.

No formal action on rezoning was taken at the meeting.
