Chairman Spencer asked Mr. Richardson, City Planner, if it would be possible to correct the Land Use Map to show the large pink circle at Dove Road and Dove Loop as only a small circle. She said that as it is now shown, the circle appears to allow a larger commercially zoned area than actually exists at the four corners. This dot is not consistent in size with others on the map. Mr. Richardson said that he would be happy to make the correction if so directed by the City Council. After a short discussion, Ron Cook made a motion to recommend that the City Council direct the City Staff to reduce the size of the pink dot at the intersection of Dove Road and Dove Loop.
