He stated, as an example, the rural character of the area was a main <br />consideration when the Villas at North Fork were planned. He added a checklist or criteria could <br />be required to provide a compelling reason to change the plan. <br />Mr. Valentine stated the Land Use Map has areas that are color coded for medium density, and <br />rural areas with a distinct color code. He added there should be a color code for transition areas. <br />Mr. Gladhill stated, about ten years ago, property owners in Green Valley near Highway 5 <br />requested higher density land use, and that was added to the Plan. He added that can be changed. <br />He noted the property owners were concerned about tax implications. <br />2040 Comprehensive Plan Steering Committee / November 13, 2017 <br />Page 6 of 10 <br />
