CONSIDERATION, DISCUSSION, PUBLIC HEARING & DIRECTION 2.1 2021-CPT-01 Comprehensive Plan Text Amendment Lori Barnes, Development Services Director, noted that since the Commission also sits as the Local Planning Agency there would only be a brief presentation with a full presentation to be provided at the Commission meeting. She stated that the intent of the Comprehensive Plan text amendment (2021-CPT-01) is to reflect the vision of the City Commission to provide for municipal densities and intensities thereby discouraging urban sprawl and to improve the internal consistency of the Comprehensive Plan elements as well as with the Land Development Regulations. She added that the amendment would also eliminate duplicate language, add a Property Rights Element as will be required as of July 1st by state law and will amend two maps in the Future Land Use map series. She indicated that most, but not all, of the elements in the Comprehensive Plan are proposed for amendment. The addition of the Property Rights Element is proactive to the legislation that is coming into law and the Future Land Use map series will be amended to update the Eustis future land use map and to eliminate Map #19 - the visioned joint planning area map.
