The regional planning council review and comments are limited to adverse effects on regional resources or facilities identified in the strategic regional policy plan (SRPP) and extrajurisdictional impacts that would be inconsistent with the comprehensive plan of any affected local government within the region. Council must provide any comments to the local government within 30 days of the receipt of the proposed amendments and must also send a copy of any comments to the state land planning agency. The amendment package from the City of Delray Beach was received on April 21, 2017 and contains amendments to the text of the Future Land Use, Transportation, Coastal Management, Conservation, Intergovernmental Coordination, Capital Improvements, and Public School Facilities elements as well as amendments to the maps in the Public School Facilities Element. The proposed changes are based on the city s Evaluation and Appraisal Review (EAR) and changes to the framework of coordinated school planning in Palm Beach County. This report includes a summary of the proposed amendment and Council comments.
