Resident asks whether zoning changes could be decided by countywide vote
Summary
During public comment, a resident asked whether the proposed zoning changes could be placed on a county ballot so that a broader set of residents could decide; commissioners did not resolve the question during the meeting.
Alan O'Brien asked the commission whether the zoning question could be decided by a countywide vote so more people could weigh in. He said he would prefer a broader public decision rather than a small group deciding amendments.
The chair did not provide an immediate answer and told O'Brien the commission would consider process questions; no procedural change or formal direction to place the matter on a ballot was recorded during the session. Other commenters also suggested additional public outreach and clearer summaries of proposed changes so residents could be educated about the proposals.
