Given that  the Planning Department believes the Warner Center 2035 Plan may reach the residential limits of the EIR within 6-8 years, and given that the  economy may be permanently changed,  and given that the current plan took 8 years to create, is it time  for the  community to work with planning on updating the plan to meet community needs and improve on some of the discovered problems?
