Mr. Mack said initially staff recommended approval based upon the Future Land Use Map but after receiving objections during the public hearing proceedings for the case, that staff was now recommending denial. Mayor Portugal opened the public hearing and asked that anyone wishing to speak about this item to please come forward. Judy Daugherty spoke in support of the zoning change citing a need for rental property and that she had been a rental property owner for thirty years.
