Recommendation to City Council Re: Proposed Amendments to
Comprehensive Plan Pursuant to Evaluation and Appraisal Report — Barry
Brown, Planning & Development Director.
Barry Brown, Planning & Development Director, advised that the Planning &
Zoning Board was meeting as the Local Planning Agency to review proposed
Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR) based amendments for the
Intergovernmental and Housing Elements of the City's Comprehensive Plan. He
explained that the EAR assesses the attainment of the goals and objectives of
the Comprehensive Plan and identifies possible revisions to the plan that reflect
the current "vision" for the City's future; and to recognize changes to the Florida
Statutes and implement regulations. He noted that the EAR was adopted in
November, 2007 and found sufficient by the Department of Community Affairs
(DCA) in March, 2008. The EAR identified proposed amendments to the
Comprehensive Plan. He further explained that some of the proposed
amendments were based on a review of the attainment and effectiveness of the
goal, objectives, and policies in the Plan. Other proposed amendments were the
result of public input, direction from the 2007 Redevelopment Plan, or Legislative
changes.
