WHEREAS, the issue concerning lack of development and developer-owned land in the Southwest Priority
Growth Area was identified,and staff suggested that the Council consider accelerating growth in the area by constructing

to their properties as well as the possible urbanization of the area;and,

environmental inventory of the area,provide construction alternatives with associated impacts and costs, and identify
restoration and possible mitigation procedures;and,

were returned and evaluated by staff,and,
