amendments to Title 20 to create maps and add chapters establishing Small Town Commercial
and Crossroad Commercial zoning districts are necessary to support the economic well -being of
the County; and

Comprehensive Plan and these zoning amendments are necessary to implement the
Comprehensive Plan.

chapters establishing Small Town Commercial and Crossroad Commercial zoning districts.
