The agency recommends the compl'ei~ensive plan or <br /> amendments, after a hearing dare following a notice of l0 days <br /> publication in the official newspaper. The agency must submit the plan or <br /> proposed amendment of the council prior to publishing the nOtiCe. The <br /> council mus~ formally adopt the plan as the official comprehensive plan, <br /> otherwise ir remains only as a recommendation to the council. <br /> <br />· Recommendation for plan execution. The agency must study and propose <br /> ways to put the plan into effect, including zoning, subdivision <br /> regulations, official maps, a program of public improvements and' <br /> services, city renewat and redeveiopment, and a capital improvements <br /> program. <br /> <br />· Review of land acquisitions and capital improvements. Once an agency <br /> adopts a comprehensive plan or part, ora plan. all proposed land <br /> acquisitions and capital improvements of the city, or any other <br /> governmental unit with jurisdiction in the city, must go to the <br /> commission fol' reviewl The agency will then submit a wri~en report <br /> describing its findings. (The council may, by two-thirds vote, dispense <br /> with this requirement if it feels no planning implications are involved.) <br /> Failure to report in 45 days is.deemed approval. <br /> <br />· The planning commission or agency is responsible for reviewing land use <br /> control measures. The Planning Act requires the planning agency to <br /> review zoning ordinance amendments, subdivision plats, and official <br /> maps. Public hearings may be held before the planning agency, but the <br /> council makes the final demrmination. Under most city ordinances, all <br /> council dete~Tninations having planning implications first go to the <br /> planning agency. <br /> <br />· Finally. the planning agency or commission ma>: get the assignment fi'om <br /> the council to act as a board or' ad)usm~ents and appea!s. Again. ¢,very <br /> city that has a map in effect, must establish a board of adjustment and <br /> appeals. However, because the board has the authority to review the <br /> decisions and recommendations of the planning agency, it is usually <br /> better to have a board whose members are different from those of the <br /> planning agency. <br /> <br />?h*s chaplet last revised <br /> <br />i6-7 <br /> <br />79 <br /> <br /> <br />
