Mr. Goodrow said the Comp Plan/Code of ordinances Matrix given the
Board was done in the early stages of the original effort to write
a Land Development Regulations. When they developed the first
version of the Unified Land Development Code, as it was called, the
first three col umns were done by Berryman and Henigar and the
fourth column was added on by the City staff.
Mr. Goodrow said he would like to disregard the last column because
the directions from the joint meeting is to go back and wri te
regulations that amend the existing codes in order to bring those
regulations into compliance with the Comprehensive Plan.
He explained that the extreme left hand column was a list of
cri teria that cities regul ate. The second col umn shows what
criteria was not addressed by the Comprehensive Plan although they
are addressed in the Code of ordinances.
Mr. Goodrow suggested going through the pages, and in those places
where the Comp Plan does not address any of those particular
criteria, now would be the time for the Board to discuss what they
feel should be addressed or not. When this gets re-written we want
to take into account any issues someone might think ought to be
included as well as the Comprehensive Planning Policy issues.
Mr. Goodrow cautioned that some could be rather detailed and could
create a larger issue than the Board would want to get into at the
present.
Mr. Goodrow explained what the following initials symbolized ln the
second column of the Comp Plan/Code of Ordinances Matrix:
TCE - Traffic Circulation Element (policy found in the
Traffic Circulation element of the Comp Plan)
IC Intergovernmental Coordination Element
ROSE - Recreation and Open Space
CE - Conservation Element
FLU - Future Land Use Element

were held the first and third Wednesdays of the month. He
mentioned that in the second month of the schedule, there were
three meetings which would have to be worked out.

The Board discussed the importance of time in completing the Land
Development Regulations in order to be in compliance with the
Comprehensive Plan and DCA. At a later date, any comprehensive
plan amendments can be done if necessary to change the LOR's.
Mr. Hopkins stressed his concern regarding issues that might not be
addressed.
Mr. LeBlanc assured the Board that they can go back and make
amendments to the comp plan to change the LOR's, but the main goal
at the present time is to get in compliance.
The Board discussed what type of procedure to follow on reviewing
the LOR's completed by Mr. Goodrow, i.e., by page, chapter, etc.
Mr. LeBlanc suggested proceeding chapter by chapter and NOT page by
page.

Mr. Hopkins asked Mr. Goodrow what the penalties would be if the
LOR's were not brought into compliance within a certain time frame.
Mr. Goodrow explained there were no penalties for not getting the
LOR's done on time; however, the down side was that the City was
very vulnerable to suits that cannot be won because of the City not
following state Statutes.
Discussion regarding the involvement of the LDC Technical Advisory
Committee and the order in which they should receive, if any, draft
copies from Berryman and Henigar; before or after the Planning and
Zoning Board.
Vice-Chairperson Hoffmann asked Mr. Goodrow how soon he thought he
could have any draft copies for the Board to review.
Mr. Goodrow explained to the Board that presently it would be
difficult to give them a time frame; however, when the Board
receives the first copy from him, they can then determine/judge the
time frame and hold/schedule meetings accordingly.
