Amy also stated in Section 11.03 there is no preliminary plan like there is in 11.02. Amy said the code is uniform and easy it's the same process all the way through. Amy asked if there was any questions, Councilmember Goodliffe asked in Section 11.02 sec 600 part D&E, D says there will be 180 day period and in E we double that period. Amy wasn't sure why the time difference she asked Judd if he recalled why and Judd didn't recall why they was written that way it must have been a carry-over from the other documents.
