Community Development Director Keating reviewed the following: TO: Charles P. Balczun DATE: March 3, 1988 FILE: County Administrator DIVISION HEAD CONCURRENCE: -- �,�.% JULY 1987 COMPREHENSIVE Ro ert'fM Keat ng AI' SUBJECT: PLAN AMENDMENT APPLICATIONS Community Develop ent Director THRU: Gary Schindler %l Chief, Long-Range ��..Planning oolann� FROM: staff Plannevid r, It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at their regular meeting of March 15, 1988. DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS The Community Development Division received two Comprehensive Plan amendment applications in July of 1987 and initiated ten amendment applications, three at the request of the Public Works Division. The staff has reviewed these amendment applications and made recommendations to the Planning and Zoning Commission which, sitting as the Local Planning Agency, held public hearings on September 10, 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. At that public hearing, the Board has the option of transmitting or not transmitting any or all of the proposed amendments to the State for review. Failure to authorize transmittal of any proposed amendment constitutes denial of that request; however, transmittal of an application does not indicate Board approval of the request. On October 27, 1987, the Board of County Commissioners reviewed these requests for consideration to transmit each request to the DCA for review. The Board approved 8 of the 10 for transmittal. Denying transmittal of two of the 10 requests constituted an automatic denial of these requests and the concurrent rezoning requests which accompanied them. All the comments from DCA have been received. The Board of County Commissioners must now consider the proposed amendments for final action. At the close of these final hearings, 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. In order to approve each request it will be necessary for the Board of vote on each of the Comprehensive Plan amendment applications individually. Three affirmative votes are required for approval. 45 MAR 15 1988 DooK 71 F'" 214
