7f5z, 1 080 Secondary amendments include: a) revision of a node area where the additional area is contiguous with the existing area and does not increase the existing area by more than 10 acres; b) extension of any plan area where the additional area is contiguous with the existing area and does not increase the existing area by more than 100 acres; c) correction of any error or omission in the Plan; d) revisions to any factual or descriptive material in the Plan. WHEN AMENDMENTS MAY BE CONSIDERED Principal amendments to the Plan shall be considered once a year at the quarterly joint public hearing in February. Secondary amendments to the Plan may be considered four times a year at the quarterly joint public hearings in February, May, August, and November. However, no principal amendment is to be considered in conjunction with a rezoning request for the same property. Such rezoning requests may only be considered at subsequent hearings or meetings. (Note: after September 2, 1983, no Land Use Plan amendments are to be considered in conjunction with a rezoning request) . The Planning Board removed the distinction between principal and secondary amendment during their consideration of the proposed policy. Their change means that some development proposals could take over one year to receive approval. Staff feels this is inconsistent with efforts to streamline the development process. Staff's proposal would greatly shorten the approval time for development proposals where a "minor" amendment to the Plan was involved. Planning Staff recommend b approval of the Planning Board's proposed pro- cedures with the inclusion of Staff language on principal and secondary amend- ments.
