County reviews impact fee changes and growth plan
County commissioners say a flawed impact fee ordinance overcharged some commercial development and will base fees on employees instead of trips.

The growth phasing plan would halt rezonings or special exceptions unless facilities can handle growth, with density reductions under Apexsee while monitoring growth rates.
