ii) Discuss change to KMU limit designation and the change to the Commercial district

iii) Should the KMU (Plumb south to just one lot north of University) and Town Center
districts be overlays to the existing districts, or district changes.
iv) Does the KMU need a definition(similar to the TCC) or is the map sufficient?
