In this case, the proposed comprehensive plan amendment meets Policy 14.3's third criterion. The <br />proposed changes were either directed by the Board, or requested by a local agency/organization or staff <br />due to changes of circumstances. For the proposed amendment, changed circumstances include the need <br />to update outdated information and references, the need to provide more feasible implementation dates, <br />and the need to consider a new policy recommendation from the MPO. <br />Summary of Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan <br />While Policy 14.3 is particularly applicable to this request, other Comprehensive Plan policies and <br />objectives also have relevance. For that reason, staff evaluated the subject request for consistency with <br />all applicable plan policies and objectives. Based upon that analysis, staff determined that the request is <br />consistent with the County's Comprehensive Plan. <br />CONCLUSION <br />Staff's position is that updating the county's comprehensive plan, as proposed, is warranted based on <br />changes in circumstances and to ensure that the county's comprehensive plan remains current and <br />accurate. <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Based on the analysis, staff and the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend that the Board of <br />County Commissioners: <br />Adopt the attached resolution for transmittal of the proposed comprehensive plan text amendment to <br />the state and regional review agencies. <br />2.
