Minutes note: Ald. Zamarripa moved to amend the file to replace Burnham Park Type 2 (Density-Limited) map in the file and moved for adoption. The map adds 2 blocks. There were no objections. Ald.

Brostoff does not support this amendment as he sees the annual review as a means of tweaking the ordinance and DPW is not supportive due to the work load. Ald. Zamarripa also did not support the motion as she also sees the annual review as a way to examine the entire ordinance. Ald. Spiker withdrew his motion.
