Multiple members of the public used the meeting's citizen input period to press two related issues: short‑term rentals and the availability of a digital zoning map or atlas.

Resident Mike Foley said he could not find the county’s digital zoning/map atlas online and asked about adoption and public posting. Planning staff confirmed parcel‑level sheets exist and that the summary map had not been formally adopted; staff said the county has individual map pages and overlays and that adoption would require a process that includes presentation to the planning commission and county commission. "There are overlays… but they don't have parcel IDs or anything on it yet," a staff member said; staff agreed to follow up on whether the atlas work would be within the normal maintenance scope of the contract with the development district or would require a separate project.

Citizen Bob (last name in transcript: Brzadagin) raised alarm about short‑term rentals, urging more aggressive action. He said there appears to be a growing number of STRs and large short‑term rental complexes in adjacent counties and expressed concern about impacts and code compliance. Planning staff and commissioners responded that the county is developing a short‑term rental licensing and inspection program intended to ensure safety and to capture tax revenue, and that the issue is being handled by a county committee. "We are working on that… it is a slow process," a staff member said, noting the program will license STRs and institute periodic inspections and an associated fee structure.

The commission did not take formal regulatory action at the meeting on STRs or digital map adoption. Commissioners directed staff to continue work on posting and finalizing the summary digital zoning map (atlas) and to work with the short‑term rental committee on draft ordinance language and licensing procedures.

Ending: Staff will follow up on when the digital atlas can be posted and continue work with the short‑term rental committee on licensing and inspection proposals for future consideration by the county legislature.
