Assistant HRA Director Andre stated that the HRA adopted a redevelopment plan in
November. It was referred to the Planning Commission to see if it was compatible with the
Comprehensive Plan. Planning Commission questioned the geographic area of the plan
and some of the aspects of the plan regarding redevelopment opportunities. Since there
were official changes to the plan, the plan is being brought back and will be presented to
the Planning Commission, before being brought before the City Council with another public
hearing. The map is the same except that boundaries now include the right-of-way on all
the parcels. The other changes were in the text, the main change is the addition to section
