The Board can approve the plan as presented for the transmittal to DCA, approve the plan with changes, or not approve the plan.

The Board should also announce its intention to hold and advertise a final public hearing at the adoption stage of this plan amendment.

If the Board approves the transmittal of this application to the Department of Community Affairs (DCA) in Tallahassee for their 60 -day review, a second and final public hearing will be scheduled to consider any comments made by the DCA and whether to adopt an ordinance amending the Comp Plan by redesignating the land use. If the Board denies the transmittal of an application to the DCA, the application process will come to an end.
