The zoning board only recommends to the Lake County commissioners so there is still work to be done. Contact the Lake County commissioners and let them know how you feel. You can "fight city hall" in large numbers. They are our elected representatives after all.
I think I will do that. I fully support rezoning for multifamily apartments. I think it will help increase traffic for square businesses and also give options to current villagers that don't want to maintain a house.
