Okay. First, thank you, Mr. Brown. We spoke earlier about this as well. And the concerns you raise, I did let you know that they are very much on the minds of myself and Supervisor Stewart. We're just – the thing that we have to figure out is – Do we slam on the brakes now? Do we tap the brakes now? Or can we continue for a fair period before we start to need to alter course? And what we need to be able to take those decisions is data, data that we don't have yet. But it's on our minds to get it. And then separately I would say that right now the CPA, is about changing the long range land use

28:28 – 29:28•Gary Blake Ross

Yes, for the rezoning side of this, tonight's business. This opens the door to a light industrial use that will be consistent with and in some cases less than the amount of traffic, noise, visual, air quality, watershed and other effects that were already approved by right by the existing zoning. This request doesn't dramatically alter the location's anticipated uses except by recognizing that past decisions have made residential use inappropriate and have made commercial uses difficult to implement successfully.
