``service area'' in the context of the Board's standard 2,000-acre 
activation limit for a general-purpose zone project. The application

Airport, 5401 N. Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd., Lubbock; and Proposed 
Site 2 (1700 acres)-Reese Technology Center, 9801 Reese Blvd., Lubbock. 
The applicant proposes that Site 1 be exempt from ``sunset'' time
