[would like to offer the <br />following comments: <br />On ~ of 19109 during a public meeting, lVir. Harvey summarized that the UDO <br />document would be "rewriting but not changing policy". [must respectfully <br />disagree and voice my concern that both the Conditional Use District and <br />the Conditional honing Districts could lead to commercial, mixed use, <br />industrial, warehousing and many other higher density developments <br />which are not consistent with the [and uses identifiied in the 2030 <br />Comprehensive Plan for the County. <br />[ doubt that even [anning stafif can projectthe consequences of enacting <br />p <br />what l believe are "spot zoning" alternatives to the general rezoning <br />processes we currently have in place. <br />
