He explained that we are looking at <br />a Comprehensive Plan amendment and a rezoning here, but basically <br />what the applicant is asking the Board to do is to take action on <br />transmitting this proposed amendment to the DCA for their review, <br />and final action wouldn't be until at least 4 months from now <br />after the DCA review and another public hearing. He noted that <br />you can make changes to the Comprehensive Plan amendment after <br />the state makes its comments. This is just to give the state an <br />opportunity to review it. <br />Director Keating continued that this is different from the <br />usual Comp Plan amendments because in that it is acceptable to <br />look at the project behind it because it is a DRI, and also a DRI <br />doesn't have to adhere to the twice a year requirements for <br />amendment. He then discussed the new Comp Plan amendment process <br />noting that what is different is the scope of the amendment and <br />the implications. With the new rules if there is any proposed <br />change to the Land Use Map; that change has to be considered in <br />terms of its impact on other Comp Plan elements, which really <br />l <br />makes this a much more difficult and comprehensive process. <br />Today we will be talking about making changes to the Traffic <br />Circulation Element and the Capital Improvements Element. What <br />complicates this process even further is that the timeframes for <br />the DRI process and the Comp Plan process do not mesh real well. <br />The DRI involves submitting an application which both local <br />government and the Regional Planning Council review for <br />sufficiency. This DRI application still has been determined <br />insufficient primarily as to traffic from the County's <br />standpoint, and the RPC still has some economic questions that <br />they felt weren't adequately addressed. <br />Director Keating further explained that the DRI looks <br />primarily at immediate impacts and immediate needs, and the Comp <br />Plan looks further into the future. With the way the'two <br />processes are timed, it is very difficult for staff, -and today we <br />54 <br />
