1. Changing approximately 140 acres located east of Wylder Parkway, northeast of Glades Cut-off Road and to the north and south of the E/W #5 road right-of-way from Residential, Office, Institutional (ROI) to High Density Residential (RH).
2. Re-alignment of the road right-of-way for E/W # 5 from Glades Cutoff Road to Wylder Parkway to reduce the proposed curvature of the road.
3. Removing a 3.91- acre wetland from the map and mitigation provided.
