ANALYSIS OF REASONABLENESS OF PROPOSED AMENDMENT An objective and its policies form an "objective cluster . " The proposed new objective cluster establishes a framework to guide county decisions about culture and the arts . The proposed new objective is measurable and achievable . Directly related to achieving the objective, the proposed new policies are actions that the county can take to support arts and culture in the county .It is important to note that the proposed policies do not support any particular organization . In fact, they are specifically worded to refer to all county cultural organizations . Finally , no changes to any existing policies or procedures are required to implement the proposed policies . For these reasons , the proposed amendment is reasonable . CONSISTENCY WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Staff reviews each comprehensive plan amendment request for consistency with all applicable policies of the comprehensive plan . As per Section 800 . 07 ( 1 ) 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 actions 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 decisions . While all comprehensive plan policies are important, some have more applicability than others in reviewing plan amendment requests . Future Land Use Element Policy 14 . 3 , however, is applicable to all plan amendment requests . For that reason , this section will begin with a discussion of how the proposed amendment is consistent with Future Land Use Element Policy 14 . 3 . Future Land Use Element Policy 14 .3 In evaluating any comprehensive plan text amendment request, the most important consideration is Future Land Use Element Policy 14 . 3 . This policy requires that at least one of three criteria be met in order to approve a comprehensive plan text amendment . These criteria are : e the proposed amendment corrects a mistake in the approved plan ; the proposed amendment corrects an oversight in the approved plan ; or 0 the proposed amendment is warranted based on a substantial change in circumstances . In this instance , the subject amendment meets Future Land Use Element Policy 14 . 3 's third criterion. That criterion allows plan amendments based on a substantial change in circumstances . In this instance , that change in circumstances is the initiative taken by the Board of County Commissioners . That initiative is based on a new recognition of several factors including the community ' s desires and the benefits of arts and culture to the county ' s economy and quality of life . For that reason , the proposed amendment is consistent with Future Land Use Element Policy 14 . 3 .
