    “And you'll see, I believe, some recommendations coming out of the analysis, again, late this summer, early this fall. Anyone else? All right. We have two items that are text amendments. You might remember early in this calendar year, the Georgia Initiative for Community Housing, which is a resident body, came forward with a handful of conceptual recommendations at a work session. This body then forwarded those conceptual recommendations to the planning staff and planning commission to put some meat on the bone, so to speak. And the first two of those are coming to us tonight.”

Friends, we'll go ahead and take a 10-minute hiatus, and then we'll turn for discussion. We appreciate it a great deal.
