Three points discussed at the Syracuse meeting were : ZONING LAWS
1 . Much of the planning function will be taken from the
local level and placed at the county or regional level .
The main emphasis is county planning and very highly
structured regional planning .

personnel trained in planning .
3 . County planning elements would be established by the
option of the Board of Representatives . The county
planning elements would be charged with broad brush zon -
ing , and towns can doctor up their laws within this
zone ; or if the towns do nothing , then the county can
formulate the zoning in detail .
