Proposed Zoning Law Is Criticized
The president of the Kanawha County Taxpayers Protective Assn. charged that the proposed county zoning ordinance aims to remove land rights and crowd people into public housing. Dallas Ogden, also chairman of the South Charleston Housing Authority, said private developers may abandon land due to high rezoning costs, leaving land idle for public housing projects. He warned county control could relieve several agencies of duties and shift road and land development costs to taxpayers. The group plans district meetings to oppose the measure and may seek a referendum if defeated. The ordinance would require unincorporated land to be zoned for specific uses and locations.
