mended that proposed Ordinance No. 1783 be deleted from the Agenda.

required for all projects in designated areas.
3. Applications for permits for uses in other areas of the City will be restricted
to those that conform to the existing master planand zoning of the property,

granted permits would, obviously require the filing of Ervirozvoental Impact Statement
ems.
