Council member Yarnell felt there is still public concern over a plan with increased density. She asked if there was a clear way to communicate this to the public. City Attorney Light suggested in the Fiscal Analysis paragraph the following language; "this plan does not imply that these densities are to be achieved ". He restated this Plan is not a regulatory tool; there are other regulatory tools to address density. Council member Keany stated the fiscal analysis is a 20 -year forecast and the market analysis is not a goal of the City to build out to an exact number. He wondered if similar language would address the concern. Council member Yarnell thought it would. Planning Director Russ pointed to the Market Study and Fiscal Study. He suggested the last sentence concerning the Market Study read "the Market Study does not imply that these densities are meant to be achieved ".
