Sandy Lane 'Missing Middle' Rezone Denial
Summary
Commissioners unanimously rejected the county's first proposed Missing Middle development — 24 homes on 7.54 acres on Sandy Lane — after 16 speakers and a stack of written objections cited traffic, school safety, and precedent. Commissioner Constantine argued $800K+ homes defeat the district's affordability purpose.
