Few changes <br />have been made to this element since the Comprehensive Plan was approved in 1995, so <br />this update is an opportunity to edit for greater conciseness and clarity. <br />Lynn went through the element, highlighting changes. The "Purpose /Issues /Vision" <br />section was reorganized to emphasize consistency with Vision 2040, and to highlight <br />that this is a centers plan.
