Evaluation and Appraisal Review (EAR)
Why Plan?
Comprehensive Planning Leads to Smart Growth!
The City's local planning process is not static. It is continuous, evolving, and ongoing. As such, the Comprehensive Plan is audited from time to time. Pursuant to Chapter 163.3191, F.S., the City completed and adopted an Evaluation and Appraisal Review (EAR) Report in December 2009.
The proposed EAR-based amendments to the Comprehensive Plan document various improvements and possibilities for the City. Some of these efforts are ongoing in existing programs, while others will require new efforts and actions to make them a reality. When viewed in their entirety, these amendments provide direction for action and establish a shared vision for the City's future growth and development activities.
