    RE: P24-00794 Ministerial Approval

    RE: P24-00794. I would respectfully ask that you follow the unanimous decision of the Planning Commission and deny this text amendment and MND . If you cannot do that, we would respectfully ask that you remove the vacant undeveloped parcels zoned for office. These properties are a miniscule portion of the text amendment and were not part of the original intent. The planning commission has made sound decisions on this text amendment and the southwest re-zone. Thank you.

    I support this text amendment.

    I understand a member of this city council wants to end FAX service on Herndon Avenue in order to avoid state law and refers to citizens as “environmental terrorists.” I suggest to him and the rest of the council that, instead of trying to cut corners and violate the laws, they obey them.
