The commission deferred ARR 948 (PD rezoning for ~663.88 acres) and will schedule a workshop with county agencies to resolve remaining technical issues. Several items had no public opposition noted in the staff reports; one public commenter raised concerns about cement dust and health impacts near industrial sites.
