r MAY 41983 STEP 4: STAFF PLANNER: 53 ul ., The planner should review the application to see if the proposed land use conforms to the existing zoning. If it does not, the planner should forward a rezoning application to the applicant, so that -the rezoning and land use amendment requests can be processed concurrently. STEP 5: STAFF PLANNER: If a rezoning is necessary, the planner responsible for review- ing rezonings should be informed by the planner working on plan amendments that the rezoning application is being submitted simultaneously with a land use amendment request. This is to allow the rezoning planner to schedule the review process and required public hearings simultaneously with the land use amendment request. STEP 6: REZONING PLANNER: The planner who is responsible for reviewing rezoning requests should create a file for those rezoning requests which are related to Comprehensive Plan amendment requests. Since the Comprehensive Plan is amended once a year, beginning in January, these rezoning applications should be processed at that same time. STEP 7: STAFF PLANNER: The planner should give the amendment request file to the Planning Technician who prepares a location map and land use map. STEP 8: PLANNING TECHNICIAN: The Planning Technician should prepare one mylar location map for the file. The technician should also prepare one land use map, using aerial photographs as the base map. This should delineate the property for which the land use amendment is being requested, as well as all the adjacent land uses within 300' of the subject property. This information will be ob- tained from the survey and supporting information submitted by the applicant. STEP 9: STAFF PLANNER: After the application is complete the staff planner should review it for reasonableness . Included in the review process should be a visit to the subject property by the staff planner. On site, the planner should determine whether the proposed land use amendment is compatible with the surrounding land uses and will comply with the intent of the land use element of the Comprehensive Plan. Included in the review process should be the following items: 1) What impact will the land use amendment have on the trafficcirculation and street conditions in the County? 2) How will County utilities be affected by the land use change? 3) What impact will the land use change have on the County's environmental quality. This should include but not be limited to, an evaluation of the effects on environmentally sensitive land, groundwater quality, flood control, existing vegatation and agricultural land. -7-
