The purpose of this chapter is to establish procedures for amending the comprehensive plan. The Growth Management Act allows amendments to comprehensive plans only once per year, except in specified unique or emergency situations. The comprehensive plan amendment process set forth in this chapter requires the city to compile and process a list of proposed amendments to the comprehensive plan. This proposed amendments list (PAL) will be derived from two sources. First, suggested amendments will be received from citizens, property owners, project proponents, staff, hearing examiner, the planning commission, city council or other agencies. This chapter establishes a process to determine which of these suggested amendments will be placed on the proposed amendments list. Second, the city will receive applications for specific project-related or site-specific amendments to the comprehensive plan. Such applications shall be automatically placed on the proposed amendments list. (Ord. 2441 § 2, 2003; Ord. 2085 § 2, 1996)
