• <br />Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners concur with March 10, 1998 as the final <br />hearing date for adoption of the EAR—based comprehensive plan amendments. Staff also <br />recommends that the Board decide whether, and if so when, to hold a comprehensive plan workshop <br />prior to the adoption hearing. <br />Chairman Tippin was pleased to see the nice comments from the Department of <br />Community Affairs (DCA). <br />Community Development Director Bob Keating briefly reviewed the amendments and <br />advised that the Department's Objections, Comments and Recommendations (OCR) Report <br />was received last week and contained no substantive objections. He wanted to know whether <br />the Board wanted to schedule a workshop to address some of the issues which were not <br />totally resolved and understood, such as affordable housing, the overall land use densities, <br />and the relationship between land use and zoning density. <br />Chairman Tippin would like to see workshop scheduled to decide on a philosophy. <br />Commissioner Macht felt the County has been preempted by federal and state <br />government on densities which is contrary to local government and home rule. <br />County Attorney Vitunac noted that these topics have been discussed for 2 years and <br />the Board's powers to zone have been substantially reduced. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Adams, <br />SECONDED by Commissioner Eggert, the Board <br />unanimously approved March 10, 1998 as the final <br />hearing date for adoption of the EAR -based <br />Comprehensive Plan amendments, as recommended <br />by staff, and set Tuesday, February 24, 1998 as the <br />date to hold a Comprehensive Plan workshop to be <br />held as the final item on the regular Agenda. <br />FEBRUARY 10, 1998 <br />-39-,� 1 I <br />E0 K +� F�CLe U <br />
