As required by state law, all development activities must be <br />consistent with the comprehensive plan, and all county activities <br />must conform to plan policies. Occasionally, the plan must be <br />updated to reflect the latest and best available information and to <br />address changed conditions. Additionally, the plan must <br />periodically be reviewed and revised in order to reflect the <br />community's changing needs and desires. For those reasons, the <br />county has initiated this amendment. <br />After reviewing the plan, staff determined that several elements <br />need to be revised. The affected elements are the Future Land Use <br />Element, the Housing Element, and the Traffic Circulation Element. <br />The proposed additions and deletions to the plan are shown on <br />attachment 2. In this attachment, deletions are indicated by <br />strike throughs, while additions are shown as underlined. Maps and <br />Tables are labeled as either existing or proposed. <br />On April 27, 1995, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 5-0 to <br />recommend that the Board of County Commissioners transmit the <br />proposed text amendment to the State Department of Community <br />Affairs (DCA) for their review. <br />On June 13, 1995, the Board of County Commissioners voted 5-0 to <br />transmit the proposed amendment request to DCA for their review. <br />Consistent with state regulations, DCA reviewed the proposed <br />amendment and prepared an Objections, Recommendations and Comments <br />(ORC) Report.
