19.09.130 Considerations for decision to initiate processing.
Before rendering a decision whether the individual comprehensive plan amendment proposal may be processed during any year, the city council shall consider all relevant facts, including the application materials, as well as the following items:
A. Whether circumstances related to the proposed amendment and/or the area in which it is located have substantially changed since the adoption of the comprehensive plan; and
B. Whether the assumptions upon which the comprehensive plan is based are no longer valid, or whether new information is available which was not considered during the initial comprehensive plan adoption process or during previous annual amendments; and
C. For amendments that have been considered within the last three years, whether there has been a change in circumstances that makes reconsideration of the proposed amendment now appropriate. (Ord. 1177 § 1, 2009; Ord. 1075 § 1, 2007).
