The Board reviewed the following memo dated 10/9/86: TO: The Honorable Members. DATE: October 9, 1986 of the Board of County FILE: Commissioners DIVISION HEAD CONCURRENCE: SUBJECT: JULY 1986 COMPREHENSIVE Robert M. Keat•ng,,&SCP PLAN .AMENDMENT APPLI- Planning & Development Director CATIONS FROM: Richard M. Shearer, REFERENCES: Chief, Long -Range Planning It is requested that the data herein presented be given- formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at their regular meeting of October 21, 1986. DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS The Planning and Development Division received four Comprehensive Plan amendment applications in July of 1986 and initiated five amendment applications at the request of the Board of County Commissioners, the Planning and Zoning Commission, or one of the Administrative Divisions under direction of the Board of County Commissioners. The staff has reviewed these nine amendment applications and made recommendations to the Planning and Zoning Commission which, sitting as the Local Planning Agency, held public hearings on September 11, 1986, to consider making recommendations on the proposed amendments to the County's Comprehensive Plan. In_ 198-6, the State Legislature revised the local government comprehensive plan amendment procedure. The process now requires the first public hearing by the Board of County Commissioners to -be held prior to the transmittal of each request to the State Department of Community Affairs (DCA) for a mandatory ninety -day review period. After all the comments from DCA are received, the Board of County Commissioners will schedule a final public hearing to consider the proposed amendments. At the close of the final hearing, the Board may adopt all, part of, or none of the proposed amendments to the Comprehensive Plan. The attached flow chart illustrates the Comprehensive Plan Amendment process as amended by the 1986 state planning legislation. ALTERNATIVES & ANALYSIS The Planning Department feels that the best way to authorize the transmittal of the proposed Comprehensive Plan amendments to the State for review is through the passage of a resolution authoriz- ing the transmittal. Since a second public hearing must be held prior to action being taken on each of the amendment applica- tions, no final decision can be made on the applications at this time. However, action is needed on the attached resolution in order to comply with the plan amendment procedure. RECOMMENDATION - Based on the above analysis, staff recommends approval of the - attached transmittal resolution. 21 BOOK 6 J. OCT 211986
