§ 30-37. Same—Amendment, change or alteration.

(a)

So often as is desirable, but at least once each year, the comprehensive plan or the completed parts thereof shall be reviewed by the planning and zoning commission to determine whether changes in the amount, kind or direction of development of the area or other reasons make it beneficial to make additions or amendments. If the board of county commissioners desires an amendment or addition to the comprehensive plan, it may, on its own motion, direct the planning and zoning commission to prepare such amendment, and if such amendment is in accordance with the purpose of the comprehensive plan, the planning and zoning commission shall do so within a reasonable time as established by the board of county commissioners.

(b)

Any change, amendment, repeal or alteration of the comprehensive general plan shall be by ordinance proposed by the planning and zoning commission, subject to the approval of a majority of the members of the board of county commissioners. The ordinance shall refer expressly to the maps, descriptive materials, and other matters intended by the planning and zoning commission to form the whole or part of the plan. The action shall be recorded on the adopted plan or parts thereof by the identifying signature of the chairman of the planning and zoning commission, together with the date of such action, and a copy of the plan or part thereof shall be certified by the planning and zoning commission to the board of county commissioners for its approval.

(c)

The board of county commissioners may, by appropriate official ordinance, formally approve the amendments, changes or alteration to the comprehensive plan either as a whole or as substantial portions, corresponding generally with functional or geographic subdivisions of the area. Upon approval by the board of county commissioners, the planning and zoning director shall incorporate such maps by reference as a part of the official map of the comprehensive plan.
