EXHIBIT "A"
CONSISTENCY POLICY
Zoning map amendments shall be made in accordance with and consistent with a
comprehensive plan. When adopting or rejecting any zoning map amendment, the Planning
and Zoning Commission shall recommend and the City Council shall also approve a statement
describing whether its action is consistent with an adopted comprehensive plan and any other
officially adopted plan or document that is applicable, and explain why it considers the action
taken to be reasonable and in the public interest.
Plan consistency statements can also emphasize the substance of what relevant planning
documents say and display as well as with any other officially adopted plan that is applicable.
These references encourage the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council to consider
whether specific legislative zoning decisions are compatible with other written community
planning policies that may come from a variety of sources.
It shall be the policy of this Commission to recommend to the City Council an amendment to
the approved Future Land Use Map, if any recommendation for a zoning map amendment is
recommended by the Commission which is not consistent with said map and accompanying
Consistency Statement.
