BOOK 108 FAuE 5 <br />Comment 2 <br />Ibis comment commends the county for its continuing efforts to improve its comprehensive plan, <br />and does not require a formal response. <br />CONSISTENCY WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN <br />Comprehensive plan amendment requests are reviewed for consistency with all policies of the <br />comprehensive plan. As per section 800.07(1) of the county code, the "comprehensive plan may <br />only be amended in such a way as to preserve the internal consistency of the plan pursuant to Section <br />163.3177(2), FS." <br />The goals, objectives and policies are the most important parts of the comprehensive plan. Policies <br />are statements in the plan which identify the actions which the county will take in order to direct the <br />community's development. As courses of action committed to by the county, policies provide the <br />basis for all county land development related decisions—including plan amendment decisions. While <br />all comprehensive plan policies are important, some have more applicability than other, in reviewing <br />plan amendment requests. Of particular applicability to these proposed amendments is the Future <br />Land Use Element Policy 14.3. <br />Future Land Use Element Policy 14.3 <br />In evaluating any comprehensive plan amendment request, the most important consideration is <br />Future Land Use Element Policy 14.3. This policy requires that at least one of four criteria be met <br />in order to approve a comprehensive plan amendment. These criteria are: <br />• a mistake in the approved plan; <br />• an oversight in the approved plan; <br />• a substantial change in circumstances; or <br />• for Future Land Use Map amendments, the proposed amendment involves a swap or <br />reconfiguration of land use designations at separate sites and that that swap or <br />reconfiguration will not increase the overall land use density or intensity depicted on the <br />Future Land Use Map. <br />The following matrix summarizes which of the above criteria are met by each proposed amendment. <br />PROPOSED AMENDMENT <br />MISTAKE <br />OVERSIGHT <br />CHANGE IN <br />CIRCUMSTANCES <br />FLUE Policy 1.6 <br />X <br />FLUE Policy 1.12 <br />X <br />FLUE Policy 1.14 <br />X <br />FLUE Page 61 & Policy 1.16 <br />X <br />FLUE Policy 1.22 <br />X <br />FLUE Policy 1.23 <br />X <br />FLUE Policy 1.28 <br />X <br />FLUE Policy 1.29 <br />X <br />New FLUE Policy 1.39 <br />X <br />New FLUE Policy 1.40 <br />X <br />New FLUE Policy 1.41 & Table <br />2.13 <br />X <br />New FLUE Policy 14.5 <br />X <br />ICE Page 19 <br />X <br />ICE Policy 3.9 <br />X <br />FLUE - Future Land Use Element <br />ICE - Intergovernmental Coordination Element <br />MARCH 16, 1999 <br />-52- <br />0 0 <br />
