The act of adoption formalized the Plan text and map as <br /> County policy in land use matters. The Plan will need to be amended from time to <br /> time to reflect changing conditions in the County. The attached procedures <br /> set forth the process by Which the Plan can be amended. <br /> DIPACT: Adoption of the proposed procedures will separate a rezoning request from <br /> an associated Plan amendment after September 1983 and overcome the technical <br /> difficulties the Planning Board has experienced in recommending on this kind of <br /> dual request. The proposed procedures will also prevent "piecemeal" amendment of <br /> the Plan through the requirement that the Plan may only be amended once a year <br /> after September 2, 1983. <br /> 4 <br /> RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Staff originally proposed that the following language be <br /> included in the proposed procedures: <br /> CATEGORIES OF AMENDMENTS <br /> Amendments are classified as principal or secondary amendments. principal <br /> amendments include: <br /> a) additions to or modifications of goals and policies; <br /> b) creation of new activity nodes or additions to existing node areas <br /> exceeding 10 acres; <br /> c) proposals for new freestanding plan areas or additions to existing areas <br /> that exceed 100 acres. <br /> page 1 of 2 <br /> • <br />
