<br />City Council anticipates taking final action on a Citywide Comprehensive Plan on August 16,
<br />2005; and
<br />
<br />WHEREAS, one of the critical issues under evaluation as part of the Comprehensive

<br />development, and the policies under which such development might occur; and

<br />development upon compliance with all other City ordinances, rules, regulations, policies and
<br />design guidelines; and
