At some future <br />date, these boundaries may require further adjustment, reflecting increasing need for urban land <br />in the metropolitan area. The county and the two cities should recognize this possibility in their <br />respective planning programs. <br />Laurel Ridge Record (Z 15-5) Page 625 <br />
