Mr. Noble, seconded by Ms. Nichols, moved to recommend that the elected offi- cials approve the Metro Plan amendment shown on page 1 of the staff memoran- dum, with the amendments recommended in the provided hand-out (specifically, the amendments adding the break-out for years 2031, 2032, 2033, and 2034; and replacing the term “Urban Transition Area” with the term “Metro Urban Area”) but deleting the last sentence from the amendments recommended in the provided hand-out (beginning with: “In the event. . .”).
