The uses allowed on the properties will not change as a result of the actions, as the properties are not being re-zoned as a part of these actions, and no new regulations are being applied to the properties as a result of these actions. Therefore, Goal 5 does not apply. Goal 6 - Air, Water and Land Resources Ouality: To maintain and improve the quahty of&e air, water, and land resources o~f the state.
