Zoning

Marsha;

I'm pretty sure you saw the article in MCS about the zoning change vote in OP. If not, just go to the NEWS link here. I notice that the BoCC chair was not happy about it at all.

He wasn't happy about no signs being posted in the neighborhood (his, because he lives there). He wasn't happy about the outcome because it may open up a can of worms in other areas of the city, as written about by OneMann in an earlier blog.

So, I have to ask you, were there any signs posted in the Ravines about the land use change request?

I certainly hope that the chair remembers his chagrin over the vote in OP when it comes time to hear the issues when they are brought to the BoCC.

It was appropriately named to attract the largest number of uninformed voters it can get.

What's not to like about "hometown?" It's such a local word and applies to you and me and where we're living today. Then throw in "democracy" and it would be almost sacriligious to vote against anything that remotely sounds un-American.

The premise behind this state constitutional amendment is horizontal in nature. It assumes that each and every one of us knows (or will learn) everything there is to know about zoning and land use regulations that some attorneys - like the John Kopelousoses of the world  - have spent an entire career learning.
