I certainly do not disagree with the technical attributes my colleagues have shared and I will go on record by saying I hate this image that I’m looking at right here. Look at the neighborhood to the left of Franklin St. What socioeconomic band do you think those people are in? Where else in our county would you see something like this?
Q-Proximity to an industrial park?
A-Right! I mean, talk about design injustice, on top of all the things that my Commissioners have said, there’s a reason why the comp plan says what it says. There’s a reason why we don’t commonly build in the floodplain. There’s a reason why you can’t put a building on there today. Like those reasons are there for a purpose. I won’t go ahead and beat the drum that my previous two Commissioners have. I certainly agree with them. They’ve said it so eloquently. So I’m a pretty hard no on this one.– Commissioner Corey Clayborne 4/22/2025
