Comprehensive Plan and added that the proposed ballot title and summary also includes wording
"over the County Comprehensive Plan's longest-range planning period", which emphasizes a long
period of time rather than a short period of time. Vice Chair Chira inquired whether all projects
encroaching on rural areas, including duplexes and subdivisions of any scale, would be required
to undergo this methodology process. CRC General Counsel Vose stated that there is no
requirement, that any project, be subjected to this process. He added that all the proposed
amendment requires is that a process to evaluate urban service area expansions and proposed
developments be developed or created. It does not have to be applied in any instance.
Discussion ensued. CRC General Counsel Vose contributed to the discussion regarding the
Fiscal Sustainability Analysis Tool as it is written in the current Comprehensive Plan and the
proposed Vision 2050.
