Heading: Adoption of the Plan

Text: [¶ 18] The landowners' first argument is that, because the Plan as originally drawn required adoption by at least one of the cities in addition to the county, the failure of either city to adopt the Plan resulted in the county not being able to adopt it on its own. Therefore, both the initial adoption and the later amendment were invalid. The county's response to this argument, which the district court accepted, was that the county had properly adopted the Plan as amended, and that municipal concurrence was then no longer necessary. We agree. The status of the Plan in its earlier version is not relevant, given that it was adopted as amended before the landowners purchased their property. We also agree with the district court's conclusion that nothing in the record reveals the county used improper procedures in adopting the amended version. Although the Plan was styled as a plan and agreement, the landowners have shown no reason it could not suffice as the county's land use plan, even if it did not become an agreement with the cities.
