COUNTY WIDE TEXT AMENDMENTS
SHOULD BE DENIED !
County Staff and the County Attorney recommend denial.
The amendments would destroy environmental protectionpolicies in our Comprehensive Plan that has allowed a balance
of development and protection of natural resources.
Changing the text would allow a negative cumulativeenvironmental impact.
Changing the text would be inconsistent with the Countysvision, the Comprehensive Plan, Land Development Code andthe State Statutes.
