AGENDA ITEM WORDING: A public hearing to transmit Comprehensive Plan Amendments based on
the l:valuation and Appraisa I Report (EAR) for the Monroe County Year 2010 Comprehensive Plan.
ITEM BACKGROUND: The EAR was adopted by the BOCC on August 18, 2004. The Ic,AR
established a set of amendments to the Comprehensive Plan that would irnprove the Plan's ability to
address the County's needs. Since the adoption of the EAR on August 18, 2004, Monroe County has
adopted a series of Comprehensive Plan Amendments to establish the Tier system. These amendments to
create the Tier system addressed a number of the amendments that were required in the EAR. As a result
of adopting the Tier amendments, the County is left with a series of "housekeeping" amendments that are
necessary to complete the actions identified in the EAR.
It is important to note that although the Comprehensive Plan Amendments to establish the Tier system
have been adopted and approved. the Land Development Regulations to implement the Tier system have
been appealed and are currently not in effect
In conclusion, this set of EAR-based amendments can be categorized as deletion of obsolete objectives
and policies, and amendments reflecting new strategies for implementation, or amendments to retlect
changed conditions or the completion of an objective.
