Following the Planning and Zoning Commission action, the Board of County Commissioners conducts two public hearings. The first of those hearings is for a preliminary decision on the amendment request. At that hearing, the Board determines whether or not the amendment warrants transmittal to state and regional review agencies for their consideration. If the plan amendment is transmitted, state and regional review agencies will review the amendment as it pertains to each agency's focus area. Review agencies will then send their comments directly to the county and the State Land Planning Agency. Subsequent to staff and/or the applicant addressing any issues that were raised by the review agencies, a second and final Board of County Commissioners public hearing is conducted. If the Board approves the request, the approved amendment is submitted to the State Land Planning Agency and to the other review agencies. The amendment becomes effective 31 days after the State Land Planning Agency determines that the amendment package is complete, unless a challenge is filed by an affected party. Planning and Zoning Commission Action On December 12, 2013, the Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously recommended that the Board of County Commissioners approve the proposed land use re -designation and rezoning. Board of County Commissioners Transmittal Public Hearing Action On February 4, 2014, the Board of County Commissioners considered the proposed plan amendment and voted to transmit the amendment to State and Regional Review Agencies. Staff then transmitted the amendment to State and Regional Review Agencies. None of the State and Regional Review Agencies had any objections or comments regarding this amendment.
