Grootwald property rezone (joint city/county session)
Description
In the pre-meeting joint session, the applicant sought a Heavy Industrial rezone for storage units but accepted the Planning Commission's Light Industrial recommendation; the joint board then voted down advancing the ordinance to a second reading, killing it for now. A neighbor testified against it.
