The Board reviewed the following memo dated 4/3/07: TO: The Honorable Members DATE: April 3, 1987 FILE: of the Board of County Commissioners DIVISION HEAD CONCURRENCE: SUBJECT: JANUARY 1987 COMPREHENSIVE Obert M. Iea ing ICP PLAN AMENDMENT'APPLI- Planning & De elopment Director CATIONS FROM: SMS Richard M. Shearer, REFERENCES: Chief, Long -Range Planning It is requested that the data herein presented be q!iven formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at their regular meeting of April 14, 1987. DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS The Community Development Division received three Comprehensive Plan amendment applications in January of 1987 and initiated one amendment application at the request of the Public Works Division. The staff has reviewed these four amendment applications and made recommendations to the Planning and Zoning Commission which, sitting as the Local Planning Agency, held publicearings on March 12, 1987, to consider making recommendations -on the proposed amendments to the County's Comprehensive Plan. In 1986, 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 o 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. It is necessary for the Board to vote on each of the Comprehensive Plan amendment applications in order to authorize transmittal of the applications to the State for review. Three affirmative votes are required to authorize transmittal. 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 attached transmittal resolution. 19 APS 14 i9V approval of the MOK S PAGE 1-9
