Since our 2008 review, the Legislature has amended the expedited comprehensive plan amendment review process and has considered expanding the program to additional local governments. The number of local governments that have used the pilot program has increased, while the number of challenged plan amendments remains small.
Most local governments report that the expedited review process is working well. State and regional agencies that review comprehensive plan amendments report that the pilot project has both advantages and disadvantages; cited concerns include less thorough reviews of plan amendments and inadequate inter-agency coordination. Local governments and reviewing agencies offered many suggestions for modifying the program.
