A major topic in the Land Use subseries is the Westlake Center project and the related closure of Pine Street as a pedestrian mall. After the state Supreme Court prohibited the city from completing the Westlake project as originally planned, the land was sold to developers who created a shopping mall, office tower, and public square. Several files document 1979 discussions about the annexation of the South Park industrial area. Studies were done but annexation did not take place at that time. Files on noise deal with issues ranging from trains and float planes to concerts in parks. Other subjects represented in the subseries include zoning, greenbelts, and the waterfront.
