Pam Curry, Planning and Zoning Board Member, stated she voted to recommend approval but other things had come to light, including the viewpoints of the residents in the area stating, Curry added it was difficult to balance the re-zoning with the need for another hotel.

Mark Eatinger, representing Rio Verde Engineering, stated the zone change would be the use as the area had been planned.
