So, just to be clear, what youre saying is twoyear extension. And that twoyear mark, if think didnt make that twoyear mark, theyd have to come back to the Planning Commission . Correct. Correct. Within that interim period, theyd update the design, work with staff on the design and come back as an informational item.
