UPDATE ON PLAN REVIEW PROCEDURES
<br />
<br />Since January 16, 1981, a multidisciplinary team of
<br />Council staff has been assigned responsibility for
<br />determining the content adequacy of incoming plans.
<br />The team was formed after an assessment was made
<br />of the Council's internal review process following the
<br />first round ofreview~ : .-..' · - ~... ,
<br />
<br />The adequacy team was formed in order to stmara-
<br />line the Council's review process. It was found that
<br />plan content adequacy was not being addressed
<br />consistently in the reviews, and that some means of
<br />standardizing this part of the review was needed.
<br />
<br />After a local comprehensiv~ plan is received by the
<br />Referral Division of the Council, it is given to the
<br />adequacy team. The adequacy team reviews the plan
<br />to make sure that all of the etements required under
<br />the Metropolitan Land Planning Act (MLPA) are
<br />present. If they are. review of the plan continues -
