resolve lingering or potential ambiguities; and
WHEREAS a number of Community
Design Plans will be revisited to look at specific sites, or small areas, which
were not considered or re-zoned at the original time of approval; and
WHEREAS planning issues dealt
with through this process would be carefully selected, with a goal of quickly

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT
