“So ma'am, I'm sorry, and this is one of the rude things I have to do as a council member up here, is we don't allow the back and forth, even though he's addressing you. You certainly can leave your telephone number and your contact information with the clerk, and she can get it to the council and to your district representative, especially, so that y'all can continue the conversation.”

“OK, any other discussion? All right, first reading. All those in favor say aye. Aye. Any opposed? Motion carries. We move now to item number four of our public hearing agenda, rezoning action. Council to hold a public hearing and consider first reading case number 26-26, tax map number 477000008 to rezone from ID to GC 9.63 acres in District 2.”

“Is parking that good? Any other questions? I was curious about, can you go back to the comp plan? The one that showed the surrounding, I'm sorry, where the purple. So is everything purple still industrial? All of that is? But you're saying it's owned by a similar ownership?”
County Council · Sep 8, 2026

“And so it's currently zoned industrial, but our comp plan is proposing residential?”

“So the motion on the table is to approve first reading. And I haven't heard any amendments being proposed or any piece on that. So here's what I want to reiterate. I do have concerns that folks understand that if it is industrial now, They can do that by right without coming to this council to ask us for that. They're allowed to do it. Anything in that industrial list, they're allowed to do it. What has been requested is that this go to what would be considered a lower impact, less noxious zoning, which would be general commercial. having said that when we approve zoning unless we put…”

“Well, I'll support, are there any other questions for staff, comment?”
County Council · Sep 8, 2026

“I'll support first reading, but I would ask to, just to get to second reading, aren't we allowed to require, I mean, I think typically a lot of developers have a community meeting. It doesn't sound like that there's been any to at least share that vision and make a connection. We can request that.”
County Council · Sep 8, 2026

“I thought we had an ordinance provision that we could direct that. Do I need to make an amendment to request that? I'd move to amend to direct that there be some communications with the surrounding community members with staff. I don't know why I can't talk tonight. to share with them what existing zoning is there, have that connection so that folks really understand the differences so that when they're speaking they can come to the two minutes and continue to speak. So I would make that amendment.”

“I don't know that that necessarily matters. I wouldn't support it until it was done. I've already staked myself out of what I'm doing at second reading, but assuming nothing changes. But I've made an amendment. If there's no second.”
County Council · Sep 8, 2026

“I think it'd be preferable if there's a way to do it. If it can't, then it can't. But I think there's some concerns that the applicant certainly needs to hear and talk through with the community. So we're voting on any comments on the amendment?”
County Council · Sep 8, 2026

“How will we address the applicant being able to talk through this?”
County Council · Sep 8, 2026
- Play at 1:24:20
“That might be a little tricky because there might be a lot of other people that want to be heard, too. I think at this point, a community meeting would be nice. I think it would be good if that applicant could have that happen before second reading. But the motion on the table is moved to approve, and the amendment, which we're deciding now, is simply to request that that meeting be held. So we'll vote on the amendment first, and then we'll vote on the main motion. All those in favor of the meeting, say aye. Aye. Any opposed? All right, so the amendment passes. We're now to the main motion.…”

“The deed restrictions that Walmart has, they run with the land. They can't change, right, with a new property owner?”
County Council · Sep 8, 2026
- Play at 1:32:11
“Well, I think that's relevant. I would like to know at least what the deed restrictions are and whether or not they run with land.”

“Any other questions before we open the public hearing?”
