' The <br /> Planning Board expressed concern about project specific amend- <br /> ments to the Land Use Plan and unanimously adopted a motion at <br /> their September 20, 1982 meeting which states: <br /> Whereas the Planning Board believes <br /> the amendment of the Land Use Plan <br /> in the context of specific develop- <br /> . ment proposals precludes considera- <br /> tion of the optimal Land Use Plan for .,.: <br /> the entire County. <br /> Whereas there are technical problems <br /> . with the consideration of Land Use <br /> Plan amendments and development pro- <br /> posals in the same meeting. <br /> Whereas the Planning Board has estab- <br /> lished a committee to recommend policies <br /> for Land Use Plan amendments by the <br /> November Planning Board meeting. <br /> Therefore the Planning Board recommends <br /> that until the end of 1982 a moratorium — <br /> be placed oh the consideration of Land <br /> Use Plan amendments in conjunction With <br /> related development proposals. <br /> ■ <br /> IMPACT: The Planning Board has established a sub-committee to consider <br /> an amendment policy for the Land Use Plan composed of Dr. <br /> Gordon, Dr, Irvin and Mr. Walters. The staff has prepared a <br /> draft amendment policy for review by the sub-committee. Approv <br /> of the moratorium would preclude consideration of any future de' ,op <br /> ment proposal requiring amendment to the Land Use Plan until <br /> an amendment policy has been formulated and adopted. <br /> FIECONNENDATION: As the Board decides, <br /> . *.: <br /> . . <br /> . _ <br /> , • <br /> ' . <br />
