that dealt with traffic circulation and a minor change in wording of one

process. He stated staff had received a letter from The Group, Inc. agreeing to
that condition.

ing the lack of consideration by Ross Consulting in the market study of the

also stress preservation of existing buildings and preservation of important

concerns would be more appropriately addressed as part of the implementation
stage. Joe stated that staff recommended that the Board adopt the resolution
which would adopt the amendment to the Downtown Plan.
