This concern has not yet been resolved, but will continue <br />to be discussed during Phases II and III of the Plan Amendment. The City shall take into account <br />sidewalks, greenways, and other private and innovative improvements (such as wonerfs). <br />Site Selection Process <br />The City is in a unique situation as Property Owner and Regulatory Authority.
