Paul, thanks for bringing this to our attention. I inquired about options related to the changing of the new Comp Plan late last year. Nobody seemed to have an answer. I certainly hope these requests are going to be handled in a very transparent way. It's something we need to monitor very carefully.

I have attached the form. Apparently, the Planning Commission authorized the use of this process free of the $514 fee per amendment during the six month period following adoption of the new plan. The new 2030 Plan became effective Nov 1, 2009 so six months would be May 1, 2010. The Public Hearing date will be July 20, 2010 and the deadline for normal filing would be 4 weeks prior to the Public Hearing or approximately June 22, 2010. If you file after May 1, 2010 it is unclear if the fee will be waived. So you have any issues with the new plan it is important to fill out the form and file it with the Planning Department as soon as you can during this no charge period. Perhaps we could have Travis Crane or Ken Bowers come to our next RCAC and cover this process and how much detail they are expecting from applicants and how much assistance they can give to citizens to ensure a successful submission.
