Public Comment

Unidentified public commenter argued that a rural-resort zoning district is a way for developers such as C.B. Ragland to circumvent the county growth plan, would shift costs for road widening and water extension to residents, and would primarily benefit wealthy developers. Speaker said such uses belong in planned growth areas and asserted the amendment would violate county and state growth plan rules.
