\r\nOn the previously-decided Campus Howell Road rezoning,\r\nthey voted twice to invalidate their previous vote. because first they forgot to hold the public hearing.\r\nTwice because the Chairman first forgot to hold the Public Hearing.\r\nIn the Hearing, several citizens spoke against the rezoning.\r\nThe actual rezoning decision will be taken somewhere between six and nine months later, after the other Public Hearing held just after this Public Hearing.\r\n

\r\nIn the other Public Hearing, they took no vote, since the vote will be sometime between March and May 2023.\r\nThe rezoning may also go before the Planning Commission again before then.\r\nOne citizen spoke against, asking why bother going through\r\nthe Planning Commission again considering that the County Commission\r\nrejected the previous GLPC recommendation.\r\nCounty Chairman Bill Slaughter said GLPC will be asked if that is required for due process.\r\nJoshua Knight and Brent Moore spoke for.\r\n<\/p>\r\n

\r\nCommissioner Mark Wisenbaker voted against the Griner Park work,\r\nsaying it is not a top priority and later they might get more than one bid.\r\nIt passed anyway.\r\n

\r\nEverything else passed unanimously.\r\n
