<br />and outdoor) , museums , galleries , and classrooms . Conditions could include an inventory of arts
<br />organizations , the size of their membership , and how many people use the various facilities . This
<br />phase could also include a description of the condition of the facilities .
<br />Currently , an acceptable inventory of existing conditions and facilities is not available . The Cultural
<br />Council , however, has offered to help develop one for the future .
<br />Recognizing that without an inventory of existing conditions and facilities a new element could not
<br />be developed , it was determined that as an interim step , prior to the development of a new element,
<br />a new goal and two new objectives involving cultural activities could be added to the Recreation and
<br />Open Space Element .
<br />Those proposed changes to the comprehensive plan were processed for the July 2000 amendment
<br />submittal window . On September 28 , 2000 , the Planning and Zoning Commission held a public
<br />hearing and voted to recommend that the Board of County Commissioners approve that amendment .
<br />On November 7 , 2000 , the Board of County Commissioners held a public hearing at which they
<br />considered the July 2000 cultural amendments . At that meeting several concerns were raised
<br />regarding the proposed amendments . Because of those concerns , the Board instructed staff not to
<br />transmit those amendments to the Florida Department of Community Affairs . Instead , the Board
<br />instructed staff to continue to work on the proposed cultural objectives and to reprocess them as part
<br />of the January 2001 plan amendment cycle .
<br />Planning staff has continued to work with the Board, the Cultural Council , and the general public
<br />to address the concerns raised at the November 7 , 2000 , meeting . Through that method a new
<br />amendment was drafted and submitted during the January 2001 plan amendment application
<br />submittal window .
<br />The subject revisions delete Recreation and Open Space Element Objective 11 and Policy 11 . 1 , and
<br />create new Recreation and Open Space Objective 11 and Policies 11 . 1 to 11 . 6 .
<br />The proposed additions and deletions to the plan are shown in Attachment 2 . In this attachment,
<br />deletions are indicated by stiikc tinough: , while additions are shown as double underlined .

<br />2 .
