the goals are insufficient and incomplete and the Ordinance is inadequate as written. He stated his goal
is to get answers to public health questions.
Mayor Andrus stated her consideration of past practices in creating previous URDs should apply to this
decision. She agreed with Cr. Madgic on the need to compartmentalize the creation of a URD separate

the Commission is the creation of tools that will help this area if there is future development. She noted
the opportunity to address concerns for businesses, the environment, including wetlands, and
transportation. She expressed her fear that the property may remain fallow and contain environmental
concerns that may never be addressed without this action. She will support the motion as meeting the
criteria.

protection of existing businesses into the Ordinance.
