And that's pretty common for this type of situation where we have subdivisions and rezonings happening at the same time.”

From the transcript
And for the Assembly ordinance, staff will draft that the rezoning will take effect upon submittal of all 4 final plats. So with that particular statement, it's very similar to what we've done for the subdivisions that were related to rezones in Uzinkee and Old Harbor, that the subdivisions have to have their final plat submitted before the rezoning takes effect. And that's pretty common for this type of situation where we have subdivisions and rezonings happening at the same time. If you have any questions, I'll be happy to answer those.
