Amendments to the text of the Comprehensive Plan and large scale Future Land Use Map amendments over 10 acres in size or greater than 10 dwelling units per acre can be made twice a year. Rezonings can also be made every month using a unified application. For all amendments to the Comprehensive Plan and rezonings, there are several stages in the review and approval process. Applications are due monthly to the Community Development Department.
Staff reviews the applications and writes a report analyzing the impacts of the petition.
In the following month, the Planning and Zoning Board hears the petition and makes a recommendation to the Board of County Commissioners. For large scale plan amendments, the amendment is transmitted to DCA for Objections, Recommendations and Comments Report. Once the county receives this report, the petition goes before the boards for final adoption.
