Land Development
Emphasize parent tract as at date of adoption,
Rezoning could be viewed as a taking,
Rezoning would encourage family subdivisions,
Family subdivisions need greater consideration by working group.

Staff position would help farmers,
Shenandoah County & Warren County are interested, Extension service might lead,
Rewrite top two paragraphs of page 6 of agenda,
Agricultural lots need greater consideration by working group,
Don't use word "industry".
Rural Community Centers
More specifics needed, particularly for commercial uses allowed.
RCC studies may be more necessary than UDA study,
