Several public input opportunities were also provided during Phase I of the <br />process. Public hearings were held on May 19, 2008 and August 25, 2008 to receive formal <br />public comments on the draft Comprehensive Plan, dated May 6, 2008. <br />Revisions to the May 6tH draft Comprehensive Plan have been prepared for BOCC <br />consideration (Attachments 1 and 2). Originally, revisions were to be incorporated into the May <br />6tH draft Plan prior to BOCC adoption consideration. However, to accommodate the additional <br />public hearing on August 25tH and still meet the targeted adoption date, the BOCC amended its <br />update process. The amended process includes BOCC consideration of the May 6tH draft Plan <br />
