The Comprehensive Plan Amendment (PA) Work Program lists authorized current and future planning studies and amendments. The work program consists of activity center and neighborhood planning studies, and site-specific (Board-authorized) and countywide policy amendments. Priority is given to amendments that advance major policy objectives, address emerging community concerns, and provide a platform to better implement the Concept for Future Development. The planning process strives to identify the latest planning trends, engage the community in planning efforts, and ensure that plan guidance is up to date and relevant to decision makers.

Project websites have been established to provide additional information about specific studies.

• Minor Plan Amendments
• Activity Center or Neighborhood
• Countywide and Policy

The county’s Site-Specific Plan Amendment Process, or SSPA for short, gives the public a way to propose a land use policy change in the Comprehensive Plan for a site or collection of parcels. This is a biennial countywide cycle for reviewing site-specific proposals, called nominations, to change the Comprehensive Plan’s land use recommendations. With the property owner's consent, anyone can submit a proposal for site-specific land use changes.

Staff Reports

In order for an amendment to be adopted, it must be the subject of a public hearing before the Planning Commission and the Board of Supervisors. Staff reports for the proposed amendments scheduled for public hearing are available...

Completed Plan Amendments

When the Board of Supervisors has acted upon an amendment, the amendment is considered adopted or completed. Adopted amendments are then reflected in the current Comprehensive Plan.
