JUN 22 1993 ANALYSIS. Boox 89 p4GE 9,02 In this section, an analysis of the reasonableness of each of the proposed changes will be presented. As part of the staf f analysis,, comprehensive plan amendment requests are reviewed for consistency with all policies of the comprehensive plan. As per section 800.07(l) of the county code, the "comprehensive plan may only 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 action which the county will take in order to direct the community's development. As courses of action committed to by the county,, policies provide the basis for all county land development related decisions- -including plan amendment decision@. While all comprehensive plan policies are important, some have more applicability than others in reviewing plan amendment requests. Of particular applicability to these requests are Land Use Element Policies 13.3 and 3.4, Traffic Circulation Element Policies 1.1 and 3.1,, Economic Development Element objective 4 and Policy 1.1, Capital Improvements Element Policy 1.6, and Ports,, Aviation aid Related Facilities Element Objective 3. Future Land Use Element Policy 13.3 In evaluating any comprehensive plan amendment requestp 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 a comprehensive plan amendment. These criteria are: • a mistake in the approved plan; • an oversight in the approved plan; or • a substantial change in circum tances. While some policies are particularly applicable to certain comprehensive plan amendments,, - Future Land Use Element Policy 13.3 is applicable to all comprehensive plan amendments.
