offering to hold a second meeting rather than cancel the charrette.

The purpose of a Special Area Plan is to allow parcels greater than nine (9) Abutting acres in size

The purpose of a Special Area Plan further is to encourage the assembly and master planning of
parcels greater than nine (9) Abutting acres in size, in order to provide greater integration of public
and private improvements and Infrastructure; to enable Thoroughfare connectivity; to encourage
a variety of Building Heights, massing and Streetscape design, and to provide high quality design
