State finds city—s comp plan rewrite noncompliant with Senate Bill 180; staff told to revise policies

Community development staff told the Development Review Committee on Sept. 10 that the comprehensive plan rewrite the city submitted to the state was deemed noncompliant under Senate Bill 180 and must be revised.

A staff presenter said the state identified 12 policies and three other provisions as potentially burdensome under the law and instructed the city to remove or modify them. The staff member summarized the state's response as effectively returning the submission and advising the city to "try again."

Staff said they plan to revise the comp plan and resubmit in the near future to address the state—s comments. No additional details about the specific policies or the expected schedule for resubmission were provided at the DRC meeting.

No formal action or vote was recorded at the DRC meeting regarding the state—s determination; staff presented the outcome as information and said they would pursue revisions.
