CR Zone Revisions, 2011
Note: ZTA 11-01 was approved by the Council Council on 10/4/2011. The document links below take you to the materials used or presented by various players in the arduous process.
Citizen and association letters and documents - These materials include write-ups and letters on the proposed C/R zone changes. The material is easier to digest than the actual drafts produced by the Planning staff, which is necessarily more complex. A “layman” might want to start here.
County Council and Committee packets –The committee most concerned with land use and zoning issues is the Planning, Housing, and Economic Development Committee – known as PHED for obvious reasons. PHED and other Council committees rely heavily on staff to prepare what’s known as packets. These packets contain a staff memorandum which impartially describes the topic, presents issues, suggests changes, and offers recommendations for action.
Planning Board documents – This section provides links to the documents being developed by the Planning staff. The documents themselves are rather large Adobe Acrobat files (think megabytes) but the document viewer tool provided by the staff makes it easy to skip around within the draft(s).
