Reported by Beth Nichols ( post from  Stop Rezone Facebook Page August 28)
Attended the twice- monthly Board of Commissioners meeting tonight. Great comments from four concerned citizens about the rezone and questions about the rezone process.
To recap: The Raydient Rezone request is part of the Comprehensive Plan process. The County is looking at three alternatives- The three alternatives distribute growth differently based upon Growth Management Act, regional plan goals, Commerce guidance, growth targets, requests for reclassification of properties and local circumstances.
The three alternatives are generally described as: 1. No Action 2. Focused Growth/Urban Center Focus 3. Dispersed Growth.
Within these three alternatives, applications for rezoning will be considered, which have been submitted from throughout the county. The 400 acre Bond Road Raydient property is one of these requested re-zones. From what I understand, it may be until Spring of 2024 that the decision around the rezones is made.

Eric Baker from the Department of Community Development said that people who want to have input about rezoning should comment on the Comprehensive Plan. 
In addition, you can make a specific comment about the zoning change request for the 400 acres owned by Raydient ( they are requesting change of zoning from 1 house per 20 acres (rural wooded) to 1 house per 5 acres (rural residential)

It would also be good to attend the monthly Board of Commissioners meeting and make your opinion known about this development. Can attend the meeting by Zoom and make a 2 minute comment on general issues. It's pretty easy!
