DURHAM -- County commissioners will meet in closed session Thursday morning to discuss the Jordan Lake watershed boundary.
Commissioner Becky Heron said Monday that the meeting concerns a protest petition against a rezoning and land-use amendment that effectively moved the boundary. The commissioners approved the changes 3-2 on Oct. 12. The petition, which would have required a 4-1 vote to approve the changes, was ruled invalid by the City/County Planning Department.
The Southern Environmental Law Center, which filed the petition, has since claimed the planning decision was in error. The planning department reviewed the claim and sent a report to county officials Friday. Its contents have not been made public.
