C. Update Future Transportation Plan in the Comprehensive Land Use Plan
1. Staff Presentation
Ms. Roberts said that after we adopted the Transportation Plan, we also adopted the Employment
Center Master Plan. Since the Master Plan was adopted after the transportation plan, it does not include
the Oak Crest Drive improvements shown in the Master Plan. To be able to get the funds to add the
Avenue, it must be included in the transportation plan. Mr. Harvey wanted to know if this corresponded
with the Parks Plan so that the trail systems align without any objection.

Staff recommended approval.
