Consider the analysis for additional funding and approval of additional funding in the amount of $4,229 to the APS on a monthly basis for December 2003 -January 2004, because it relates most directly to the desired operation of the Shelter as described by HSUS in their report. 3.

In the Rural Designation area, a Planned Development zoning amendment requirement for all subdivisions containing 20 or more lots (versus greater than 401ots as proposed by the Administration).
