50 -acre Town Center site. They felt that the property owners should jointly
evaluate the following elements: parking structures; architectural style (s);
the functional relationship of -one land use to another; landscaping themes; and
other site design features. Because the Lincoln Properties application did

of this application.

with those -aspects of the Clearlake Development.
