designation, the two-acre lot size requirement could be met. If the proposed Land Use Plan amendment is approved, 071 Chandler Concrete Company would submit a Planned Development application for the entire two acres . Current policy does not permit Land Use Plan amendment and Planned Development (or rezoning) applications to be handled concurrently. The Procedures for Amending the Land Use Plan state' three reasons for which the Plan may be amended : ( 1 ) Because of changed or changing conditions in a parti - cular area or areas of the County ; (2) To correct an error or omission in the plan; or (3) In response to a change in land use policy. The plan amendment application does not adequately address any of these reasons . Evaluation of a plan amendment also requires conformance with the locational criteria for the plan designation being requested as specified in section 3.4 of the Land Use Plan . The criteria include land slope, hydrology, flora and fauna, soil conditions, public services/utilities, transportation system, energy use, existing land use, agriculture and forestry, population density, and historic and cultural features . Evaluation of the criteria indicates partial conformity with public services/utilities and non- conformance with existing land use and population density. The Planning Board met on September 21 , 1987, to consider the request. The Planning Staff recommendation was for denial based upon : ( 1 ) The reasons for amendments in the Procedures for Amend- ing the Land Use Plan were not addressed ; and (2) Conformity with all applicable location criteria in Section 3 .4 of the Land Use Plan was not demonstrated . The Planning Board recommended that the request be approved. RECOMMENDATION : The Administration recommends denial of the request for the reasons cited by the Planning Staff . There is no time limit for Board action on this request. L
