Amendments to Plans
Changes to plans may need balancing and understanding of tradeoffs. Three types of changes.1) Keeps within deviation and doesn’t necessitate other changes.2) Identifying a change and a possible tradeoff with that same ward – a “one to one swap”3) Identify a change and a set of wards that involves multiple wards – a “rotation” City Council 1 – 29 2/16/2022
Amendments to Plans
If there are proposed changes we can look at those individually and provide input on if they can be achieved easily or require more adjustments.
