Director Keating reported that at the Planning & Zoning <br />Commission meeting there was one public hearing held on all the <br />rezonings and the Comprehensive Plan amendments and then a <br />hearing on the Development Order. He suggested that staff be <br />allowed to give a quick overview of the entire process, review <br />the rezonings and Comprehensive Plan amendments, and then later <br />take up the Development Order. <br />Planner Stan Boling explained that what makes this different <br />from a normal site plan is its size, which makes it a D.R.I.
