I mean, shouldn't count any of the hearing from some other counselors and then maybe coming back on.”

“Councilor Cusso? Scott, the The wildfire resiliency code, I just want to talk about this a little bit because it feels like this is the first time that we've had a situation where it's only a portion of the land, and so it might be setting a precedent.

“But yeah, and I appreciate that. We want to be as safe as we can on this. But I am kind of interested as we start wading into territory we just haven't been in before to understand what those costs are. So, Wes, I don't know.

“Scott, later on, there's a... Requirement that if the applicant does not fulfill the requirements of the annexation agreement or begin development of approved developmental plans within three years of the execution of the agreement, the city may initiate formal public hearing proceedings to rezone this property to the least dense zone. Can you tell me why that's a?”

“Okay. So this is kind of a blanket application for most annexation agreements type thing. Okay. All right. Great. Thank you very much.”
