The proposed ASP and LUB amendments are supported by a proposed new Conceptual Scheme for Section 11-53-26-W4M that provides policy framework for the development and ultimate buildout of the Conceptual Scheme Area. This Conceptual Scheme will be brought forward at the time of public hearing for a Resolution of Acceptance by Council.
