(C) The minimum published size of the notice shall be 25 square inches. (D) In the case of amendments to the Land Use Plan (map) Future Land Use Map 4, the Planning Director shall prominently post a notice of the public hearing on the site proposed for the land use classification change or on an adjacent public street or highway right of way not less than ten days before the date set for the public hearing. (1) When multiple parcels are included within a proposed Land Use Plan (map) Future Land Use Map amendment, a posting on each individual parcel is not required, but the county shall post sufficient notices to provide reasonable notice to interested persons. (E) In the case of amendments to the Land Use Plan (map) Future Land Use Map, written notice of the public hearing shall be sent by first-class mail to all property owners, as listed in the Orange County tax records, whose property is affected (property that is included in the proposed land use plan Future Land Use Map amendment) and all property owners within 500 feet. Said notice shall be mailed at least 14 days, but not more than 25 days, prior to the date of the public hearing. 2.3.7 Consideration of Amendments 5 (A) Principal amendments shall generally only be considered only once each year at the first quarterly public hearing in February of the calendar year, usually held in February 6. (B) If a principal amendment is scheduled by the Board of County Commissioners 7 for other than the February first quarterly public hearing of the calendar year, it shall be scheduled during one of the quarterly public hearings held in May, August, and November later in the year . (C) Secondary amendments may be considered four times each year at the a quarterly joint public hearings, in February, May, August, and November as designated each year on the Board of County Commissioners meeting calendar. (D) A proposed amendment may be considered in conjunction with a rezoning request for the same property if the requests are in compliance with an adopted small area plan. (E) Requests for a rezoning not in compliance with an adopted small area plan, conditional use district, and/or special use permit may only be considered at subsequent hearings or meetings following approval of the proposed amendment to the Comprehensive Plan. 2.3.8 Application Requirements (A) Generally (1) All applications for amendments to the Comprehensive Plan shall be submitted on forms supplied by the Planning Department and shall be signed. (2) Three copies of the application shall be submitted to the Planning Director. 4 The name of this map was changed in the Comprehensive Plan in 2012 and should be updated here. 5 Staff proposes that (A), (B), and (C) of this section be deleted because staff believes that any proposed amendment to the Comprehensive Plan should be able to be heard at any of the quarterly public hearings. Allowing principal amendments “generally” only once per year imposes constraints. If there is not interest in allowing consideration of any amendment at any of the four QPHs per year, then the language should eb modified as shown. 6 Staff is suggesting the language be less constrictive in case the BOCC wants to move quarterly public hearing dates in the future when the annual BOCC meeting calendar is created in the fall of each year. For example, this was done for the public hearing that was formerly held in August of each year but is now held in September. 7 The BOCC does not schedule amendments (staff is responsible for doing so) but if a principal amendment were proposed for a QPH other than the first hearing of the year, staff would coordinate with the Manager and Chair/Vice-Chair to gain input into whether the application should be allowed to be heard at one of the three later QPHs. Staff proposes A, B, and C for deletion (see footnote) 29
