Residential Zones — Assessing and potentially modifying housing density and designations to encourage responsible growth and address the community's diverse housing needs. 2. Commercial and Industrial Zones — Evaluating and potentially revising regulations to attract businesses, stimulate economic development, and create an environment conducive to innovation and job creation. 3. Mixed-Use Zones — Considering adjustments to zoning regulations to foster vibrant, walkable communities that combine residential, commercial, and recreational spaces, promoting an enriching lifestyle for residents. 4. Conservation and Open Space Zones — Exploring opportunities to preserve and protect natural resources, green spaces, and environmentally sensitive areas for the benefit of current and future generations. The public hearing will be held at [Location/Virtual Platform] on [Date and Time]. During this hearing, stakeholders will have the chance to voice their opinions, concerns, or support for the proposed zoning map amendment. Your attendance and active participation are strongly encouraged to ensure a well-rounded discussion that incorporates diverse perspectives.
