I'm glad the county was not put in the required position of creating a new SUP process under the rubric of "sustainability." We already have at least two basic types of construction and land use, residential and commercial, with very specific codes applying to each. What would be the code applying to sustainability construction and land use? As the proposed law seemed to give a wide latitude to exceptions to those residential and commercial codes, the correct answer seems to be "anything they can get away with." With our county council accepting with a straight face the testimony of a former yogic flying and dance instructor with no background in biology as an expert witness on GMO's, who knows what they would accept in the name of "sustainability?"
