012 <br /> If the proposed Land Use Plan amendment is approved, <br /> Chandler Concrete Company would submit a Planned Development <br /> application for the entire two acres. Current policy does <br /> not permit Land Use Plan amendment and Planned Development <br /> (or rezoning ) applications to be handled concurrently. <br /> The Procedures for Amending the Land Use Plan state three <br /> reasons for which the Plan may be amended : <br /> ( 1 ) Because of changed or changing conditions in a parti - <br /> cular area or areas of the County; <br /> (2 ) To correct an error or omission in the plan ; or <br /> (3 ) In response to a change in land use policy. <br /> The plan amendment application does not adequately address <br /> any of these reasons. <br /> Evaluation of a plan amendment also requires conformance <br /> with the locational criteria for the plan designation being <br /> requested as specified in section 3 . 4 of the -Lance-Use -RFa — <br /> The criteria include land slope, hydrology, flora and fauna, <br /> soil conditions, public services/utilities, transportation <br /> system, energy use, existing land use, agriculture and <br /> forestry, population density, and historic and cultural <br /> features. Evaluation of the criteria indicates partial <br /> conformity with public services/utilities and non- <br /> conformance with existing land use and population density. <br /> RECOMMENDATION : The Planning Staff recommends denial of the request based <br /> upon : <br /> ( 1 ) The reasons for amendments in the Procedures for <br /> Amending the Land Use Plan are not addressed; and <br /> (2 ) Conformity with all applicable locational criteria in <br /> Section 3.4 of the Land Use Plan Is not demonstrated. <br /> The Planning Board will prepare a recommendation on the <br /> proposed Land Use Plan amendment at its. September 21 , 1987 <br /> meeting. The Board of Commissioners will consider the <br /> proposal for decision on October 5, 1987 . <br />
