All respondents believed that the entire region, including urban and natural areas, should be part of a regional vision. All respondents agreed that it would be helpful to update the criteria and guidelines for the Regional Conservation and Recreation Land Use Designation to improve consistency and ensure that Metro 2040 policies are applied to the same land uses throughout the region.
