The revisions are fine, but on Alt. 4, please add a sentence: Under this alternative, no Neighborhood
Commercial would occur on the northeast corner of the property, and that land would be incorporated into
the residential development on the site.

Hi Nicole and Cheri,
Attached is a write up of the proposed project alternatives. Based on our call last week, we reduced the
alternatives to be considered in detail to four alternatives (in addition to the "no project/no build"
alternative). Hopefully, we can address any further input from the City team on tomorrow's call.
