*REMINDER: The county is pursuing zoning of a sort that can be fairly impacting as to types of uses, density and other restrictions. It is very important that you learn the issues, the process and how your property might be classified as to designated future land uses. Zoning should not decrease values but name and optimize options of use and guarantee them as a right. If you think a zoning designation can be easily changed in the future, you may be unpleasantly surprised.
