18 <br /> <br />EC 9.8422 states, “Refinement plan amendment procedures only apply when specific changes are <br />proposed to an existing refinement plan that covers areas only within the jurisdiction of the city. The <br />procedures are not applicable to comprehensive updates of an entire refinement plan.” <br />The refinement plan criteria in EC 9.8424 do not apply to the Metro Plan amendments because the <br />amendments adopt a new refinement plan, they do not amend an existing refinement plan. <br />However, even if the Refinement Plan Amendment criteria in EC 9.8424 did apply, the City Council finds <br />that the criteria in subsections (a) and (b) have been addressed above and the criterion in subsection (c) <br />is not applicable.
