   New zone designation and special use permit changes are provided by this source.

If it does, there is a hearing with the County Planning Commission (CPC) to review the application and hear from the public who may agree or disagree with the request. If the commission approves the request, then a copy of the application is send to the GIS Program and changed in GIS.
