What happens next

Neighbors are encouraged to follow the council docket and to submit written comments or sign up for the council hearing if they wish to speak further.
Corrections and clarifications
- Where staff or speakers referenced the GSO 2040 comprehensive plan as a basis for consistency, that plan language was read into the record and cited in staff reports. If technical questions remain (water pressure, floodplain lines or traffic modeling), staff and the applicant indicated TRC review or water resources staff are the appropriate points of contact.
