Chapter 1; Plan Overview <br /> Department to determine the usefulness of the County Profile <br /> Element, and if annual updates would be beneficial. <br /> 5. A full review and update of the Comprehensive Plan will occur within <br /> 10 years of adoption of the plan, with a preliminary target of 2015. <br /> 1.5.3. AMENDMENTS <br /> Monitoring and reporting activities will identify opportunities for updating <br /> and revising the Plan. The Plan should be amended in a manner that <br /> maintains internal consistency between Elements and upholds the basic <br /> goals and objectives on which it was formulated. <br /> Request for amendments can be brought forward by the general public, <br /> County staff, and Advisory Boards, as well as the Board of County <br /> Commissioners. Plan amendments should be evaluated through a public <br /> review process. <br /> The specific procedure for initiating Plan Amendments is outlined in Section <br /> 2.2.14 2.3 of the Orange County Zoning Unified Development Ordinance. <br /> This procedure may need to be revised to reflect the new Comprehensive <br /> Plan model that incorporates the work of Advisory Boards and departments. <br /> In particular, the following issues should be considered for revision: <br /> • Review and amendment of Section 222.14 2.3 of the Orange County <br /> Zed Unified Development Ordinance to reflect the role of <br /> advisory boards, in addition to that of the Planning Board, in the <br /> amendment process. <br /> • A process should be developed and adopted that guides the <br /> coordinated dialogue of the advisory boards when making <br /> recommendations on Plan amendments. <br /> Ora+u iCcu,yo C&mprdw*v�e Pla.
