HIP 0 5 $99 BOOK U F'n�E=j S C' Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan Comprehensive plan amendment requests are reviewed for consistency with all policies of the comprehensive plan. As per section 800.07 (1) Of the County code, the "comprehensive plan may be amended in such a way as to preserve the internal consistency of the plan pursuant to section 163.3177(2)F.S.". The goals, objectives, and policies are the most important parts of the Comprehensive Plan. Policies are statements in the plan which identify the actions which the County will take in order to direct the community's development. Specifically, policies are the courses of action or ways in which programs and activities are conducted to achieve an identified goal or objective. While all comprehensive plan policies are important, some have more applicability than others in reviewing plan amendment requests. Future Land Use Policy 13.3 In evaluating any comprehensive plan amendment request, the most important consideration is Future Land Use Element Policy 13.3. This policy requires that at least one of three criteria be met in order to approve an amendment request. These criteria are: * a mistake in the approved comprehensive plan, or * an oversight in the approved comprehensive plan, or * a substantial change in circumstances affecting the subject property. The following table shows how are related to Future Land Use Correct Mistake L.U. Policy: these comprehensive plan amendments Policy 13.3.

In fact, the Department Of Community Affairs actually recommended that several of these Policies be amended. As described above, many of these changes are not substantive in nature, but rather add clarity, reduce ambiguity, or eliminate confusion. In these cases, the intent is to strengthen the plan by revising these policies. Revisions to the 5 -year CIP and the CIE are necessary to reflect changes in circumstances since plan adoption. In that period since Plan adoption, capital improvements have been completed; others have been added; revenue projections have changed, and priorities have been modified. These circumstances warrant the amendment. Consistency with Other Policies of the Plan 128
