From this thread:  Commissioner Samuel N. Graves Jr. (D) moved to delay the vote, saying that the commissioners needed to absorb information from 223 pages of documents concerning the rezoning proposal.

From the Baltimore Sun:

Smart Growth push

The push to reform Smart Growth seems to be gaining volume, if not momentum.   Just last week, Environment Maryland announced it had secured the pledges of 24 state legislators to back the environmental group's agenda for next year's General Assembly session. 

Among its goals:  getting state legislation to require local zoning to match comprehensive plans, effectively reversing the Maryland Court of Appeals ruling authorizing the massive Terrapin Run development in Allegany County. 

Chaney's rezoning request DOES NOT MATCH Hughesville's Revitalization Plan OR the Comprehensive Plan!!!!!

Please absorb that...
