f PURPOSE AND INTENT <br />Florida Statute, Chapter 163 mandates that all local governments <br />shall have in place a comprehensive plan. In addition, the <br />statute requires the local planning agency to "monitor and oversee <br />the effectiveness and status of the comprehensive plan and <br />recommend to the governing body such changes in the comprehensive <br />plan as may from time to time be required," (FS 163.3174(5)). <br />Finally, the statute requires that "the local planning agency <br />shall prepare periodic reports on the comprehensive plan, which <br />shall be sent to the governing body at least once every five <br />years," (FS 163.3191(1)). <br />It is the intent of Indian River County to comply with mandated <br />requirements in preparing the Evaluation and Appraisal Report <br />(EAR) for the 1982 Indian River County Comprehensive Plan. This <br />report shall assess the successes and failures of the 1982 <br />Comprehensive Plan as a whole, as well as the ability of each <br />individual element to serve as a policy document upon which <br />decisions affecting the county are based. <br />Any changes made to the 1982 Comprehensive Plan shall be addressed <br />either in this report or written within the Comprehensive Plan <br />Update, which will be submitted to the state for review in <br />September, 1989. Since the 1982 Plan was created under different <br />C requirements than those currently mandated by Chapter 163 and <br />9J-5, FAC, many of the objectives of the plan are unmeasurable. <br />For these reasons, the results of the EAR for the 1982 Plan will <br />be a summarization of the successes and failures of each element, <br />based upon evaluation of the degree of achievement of the <br />elements' objectives. An evaluation matrix will supplement the <br />general evaluation. <br />
