The applicants have requested that a decision <br />on the proposed rezoning be tabled until issues related to permitted uses in the AS District are resolved and a <br />Small Area Planning Process is completed. There is no time limit on the consideration of rezonings. <br />A motion was made by Commissioner Crowther, seconded by Commissioner Gordon that a <br />decision on the proposed rezoning be tabled as requested by the applicants and (1) that the issue of permitted <br />uses in the AS District be referred to the Ordinance Review Committee following review and comment by the <br />Agricultural District Advisory Board, Cooperative Extension, and Economic Development Commission and (2) <br />that the issue of permitted uses be reviewed. The question of establishing a small area planning group to <br />work with the property owners in and around the White Cross activity node to prepare a land use plan for the <br />node will be taken under advisement by the Commissioners. <br />VOTE:MMUNANIMOUSM <br />C.
