One of these categories, “Urban Neighborhood”, states that all “German applications in the neighborhood are allowed and intended for integration with the area.” Another category, “Urban General”, is “essentially a city area, with a mix of housing options and significant applications related to apartments and support.”

Although these descriptions do not help in the fears of the inhabitants, some areas are aimed at receiving new category markings: “The future category of land use in the city center is completely unacceptable for us. This is contrary to what he recommended (stakeholder committee in the city center), “said Jake Varn, chairman of the group. “I think that people in the city center want a future land use map because it currently exists.”
