Background
The commission is considering expanding commercial development zones to attract businesses and boost local tax revenue. Supporters argue it would create jobs and increase economic activity. Opponents worry about the impact on nearby residential areas and the loss of green spaces.
Options
Expand commercial zones near existing infrastructure to minimize impact
Limit commercial zones to specific industries that benefit the community
Conduct an environmental and community impact assessment before expansion
Maintain current commercial zones without expanding
