Such <br /> accommodation was bestowed upon these cities based on their <br /> assertion that such exclusion was needed in order to <br /> accommodate future growth and development within their <br /> respective spheres of influence. At no time, prior to the <br /> enactment of the Delta Protection Act, did any municipality <br /> express their intention to use the Primary Zone in the future. <br /> I believe adoption of this amendment will Terve as a <br /> safeguard against future damage to the fragile environment of <br /> the core Delta. <br /> Ver truly yours, <br /> PA I JOHNSTON <br /> PJ:Rada PIFTx SEPTATE DISTRICT <br />
