12. DEPARTMENTAL MATTERS <br />12.A. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT <br />12.A.1. CONSIDERATION OF COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT SUBMITTAL <br />WINDOWS <br />(Clerk's Note: This item was heard at the conclusion of the break following Item 12.J.1., <br />and is placed here for continuity). <br />Community Development Director Robert Keating recalled that at the May 22, 2012 <br />Board meeting, the Commissioners directed staff to explore the possibility of changing the <br />County's twice -a -year Comprehensive Plan Amendment application requirement, pursuant to the <br />State's elimination of that restriction He summarized his memorandum of June 4, 2012 to <br />provide background on the Comprehensive Plan Amendment requirements, and concluded with <br />staff's analysis and recommendation to maintain the twice -per -year plan amendment submittal <br />windows in January and July. He also advocated, should the Board decide to reduce the time <br />frame, changing the plan amendment submittal windows from two to four times per year, and <br />authorizing staff to submit a Comprehensive Plan Amendment to effect said change in the July <br />2012 window. <br />Commissioner Davis was concerned that the twice -yearly submittals of Comprehensive <br />Plan Amendments might adversely affect the business community, and wanted to explore the <br />possibility of instituting a thirty -day submittal window. <br />Commissioner Solari believed that allowing the Comprehensive Plan Amendment <br />applications to be filed every ninety days (four times a year), would ensure a more orderly <br />process. <br />BK 142 PG 560 <br />June 12, 2012 9 <br />
