 Dear Mr. Hughes,
Zoning already allows conditional use/variances with caveats allowing land owners to do just about anything AS LONG AS IT IS RESPONSIBLE (and sometimes even when it's not).
The land use plan might need updating, but many of us would like to see the professionals do this without any interference from those who might have profit motives and personal agenda. You are talking not only about your agenda, but about OUR community, and the future quality of the area.
You state you are concerned with "special interests" controlling the land use plan. What could be a more harmful "special interest group" than you or those who want to remove the objectivity of zoning and replace it with loopholes to get around a sensible plan, which is often at the expense of the community.
Strong Professional Zoning/planning is strong in every decent community you can find. I have seen the area headed in the right direction in recent years. Please let our zoning/planning do the jobs they are trained for!!
Bad planning leads to failed businesses, bad neighborhoods, empty buildings and unsuccessful strip malls. This describes some of the areas in our community. All this is costly to all of us.
