Zoning is the quickest way I know, at least in this county to instantly polarize yourself! I think that people just got caught up in the negative attitudes that were infused during the early part of this decade when zoning was a hot topic. I think for the most part people want some kind of zoning, but just do not tell them what they can and cannot do with there property. Zoning became a extremely hot topic in the community of meat camp. I remember specifically working with citizens in the community who would ask you your political stance on zoning before they would trust you.
I have wondered since the political leadership in the county has changed in recent years, how far away are we from seeing proposals for county wide zoning. It is long overdue. I suspect that it is just on the horizon now. Many of my friends and colleagues are farmers and some of the very ones who opposed zoning. The powers that be who expect zoning to succeed should take great care in educated these rural landowner and farmers about specifically how zoning would benefit them, if they want it to succeed.
Enacting zoning in the county would be a full employment act for me! My business was increase. I mentioned in class that now, I am hired to evaluate a piece of property for potential uses with the codes and zoning, the only problem is there is not much zoning out there.
