MAY 4 199 The Commission congratulated the Planning & Zoning staff on a job well done. " Question then arose as to whether the procedures as outlined preclude a change to the Comprehensive Plan any time of the year except in January, and Mr. Keating confirmed that is what is intended; the Plan states that changes will be considered only once a year. Community Development Director King noted that this year they are running behind schedule and are only ready now to start the amendment process. Next year it is the intent to initiate the process very close to January 1st. Mr. King reported that they have approximately 20 cases where people have indicated they wish to present amendment applications and that is why they felt it was critical to get specific procedures set up. Commissioner Lyons noted that, in other words, this year anything that comes along is considered as being of January 1st, and Mr. King stated that the notice will state that we will accept applications for a definite time period (2-3-4 weeks) as they do not want the process to go on all year. MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by Commissioner Bowman, to adopt Resolution 83-37 establishing procedures and fee schedule for amendments of the Comprehen- sive Plan. Peter Robinson, President of Treasure Coast Builders Association, stated that basically he agreed with what has been presented, but felt the requirement to consider amendments only once a year in January could cause a problem for land owners of tracts of 5 acres or more. He felt such land owners would not ask for an amendment unless somebody wanted to buy their land, and if it is necessary to wait until January, they could lose a sale.
