5. Transportation Facilities
6. Parking
7. Industrial Development
8. Institutional Development

11. Recreation

The purpose of the workshop is to provide the Planning Commission an opportunity to discuss the proposed amendments. There will be no public comment at this workshop although all are welcome to attend.

All of the listed sections above are in the current SMP, the proposed amendments would change some, such as including parking in the Transportation section rather than having parking regulations in a separate section and the Transportation section as they are now.
