"For the purpose of establishing and maintaining sound, stable, and desirable development
within the territorial limits of the City, the Comprehensive Plan, including specifically, the Land
Use Plan and the Thoroughfare Plan, shall be amended only based upon changed or changing
conditions in a particular area or in the City."
Applications for Comprehensive Plan amendments submitted at the beginning of each quarter
(October1, January 1, April 1 or July 1) will be processed during that quarter. A pre - application
meeting with the staff should occur prior to any application submittal. This may be arranged by
calling 764 -3570 to make an appointment.
Public Notification
Surrounding property owners within 200 feet will be notified of any proposed plan amendment at
least 10 days prior to the first public hearing. Newspaper notice will be published 15 days before

considered during review of the application that might reasonably affect the decision - making
body's application of the relevant review standards to the development proposed in the
application; or

that might reasonably affect the decision - making body's application of the relevant review
standards to the development proposed; or

application (e.g., proposes new uses or a substantial decrease in proposed densities or
intensities); or
• The final decision on the application was based on a material mistake of fact.
