F �J ���� BOOK <br />� a 8 F,1it 905 <br />the staff level is less than 60 days. Considering that the <br />adoption hearing must be advertised, the revised plan pages must <br />be reprinted, a staff report must be drafted, and material must <br />be available more than a week before the hearing, that leaves <br />much less than 60 days to do the work. <br />In order to meet the 60 day timeframe, staff needs direction from <br />the Board as to how some of the major policy issues should be <br />addressed to respond to DCA's objections. Of the 200 objections <br />identified by DCA, most'are not major policy issues. Some of the <br />objections, however, have the potential to substantially change <br />the county's plan, if revisions are made to accommodate DCA's <br />objections. <br />ALTERNATIVES & ANALYSIS: <br />Most of DCA's objections can be classified as falling within one <br />of several categories. These can generally be defined as: <br />technical oversights, vagueness, analysis deficiencies, urban <br />sprawl, affordable housing, and environmental.• Some of these <br />objections already have been or are being addressed by staff; <br />others are policy decisions requiring board action. <br />The following table illustrates DCA's objections and alternatives <br />for addressing them. <br />General Examples of I Alternatives for Resolution <br />DCA Objection Specific Objections <br />Technical - Map without figure number <br />- Map without scale <br />- Map without north arrow <br />- Percentages that don't add <br />Incorrect References <br />Vagueness - Use of weasel words <br />coordinate <br />support - <br />encourage <br />- work with <br />objectives that aren't <br />measurable <br />- objectives without time- <br />frames <br />Analysis - Policies & objectives not <br />Deficiencies supported by data & ana- <br />lysis <br />- Analysis not sufficiently <br />detailed <br />Urban Sprawl - More land designated for <br />development than needed <br />based on population pro- <br />jections <br />- Large expanses of low <br />density development <br />No justification for <br />development pattern <br />- Densities of 1 du/10 <br />acres too high for rural <br />and conservation areas <br />2 <br />Make minor changes <br />specify intent of <br />weasel words <br />- revise objectives <br />revise objectives <br />Revise Analysis _ <br />Reduce densities west of <br />I-95 to 1 du/20 ac or <br />1 du/40 ac <br />AND <br />- Reduce densities east <br />Of I-95 outside of <br />urban service areas <br />OR <br />Justify densities & Land <br />Use Pattern <br />
