What does a person who is in a decision-making role do when having to 'approve' something that their principles won't allow them to vote 'yes' on? Well, I can only speak for myself on this issue. I was part of the Lompoc City Planning Commission for several years. After a hiatus I was reappointed, and one of the first orders of business was to review the 2030 General Plan Housing Element Update. All jurisdictions in the state must complete updates every eight years. In the past I have participated in other updates; however, this time it was very different.
