Planning Commission Minutes November 25, 2014 Page 4 Commissioner Larson -Vito asked if this was the first time the city has proposed to adopt an official map. Mr. Barnhart stated yes. He noted that mapping the roadway gives the city flexibility. Commissioner Larson -Vito asked if the roadway is in the Comp Plan. Mr. Barnhart stated that the road is shown on the map that is included in the Comp Plan.
