What they said
“I am a huge private property rights advocate.”At a League of Women Voters candidate forum, defended the decision as based on the criteria and the evidence in the record, and called herself a strong advocate of private property rights.
“This 30 acres has been zoned commercial for 68 years.”Made the motion to grant the appeal, based on the project’s similarity to uses already allowed in C-1 zoning and the site’s long history of commercial zoning.
