Commission recommends public-participation plan to enable potential comp plan amendment and rezoning

Shannon Hayden of Van de Wal and Associates told the commission that the public participation plan is a procedural first step to address a rezoning request whose proposed land use map designation is inconsistent with the current comprehensive plan. "We did get in a request for rezoning for a parcel that, the future land use map is not consistent with the rezoning request," Hayden said, explaining that adopting a public participation plan is required before considering a comp plan amendment and that the plan can be reused for future amendments.
