She explained that the ordinance provided for the approval and transmittal of the City's Comprehensive Plan amendments and the Evaluation & Appraisal Report (EAR) to the State of Florida Department of Economic Opportunity. She further explained that Florida Statutes require that the City evaluate its Comprehensive Plan every seven (7) years to make sure it's still on track with the City's long-range planning vision, and that the last evaluation was in 2009. She advised that in 2016 the City sent a letter to the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity that the City would be initiating the appraisal and review process for updating the Comprehensive Plan and by initiating that the City would be required to transmit the amendments and the Evaluation & Appraisal Report by May 24, 2017, and the Comprehensive Plan's new planning horizon would move out to 2028. Ms. Hanna reminded the Commission that in December of 2016 the firm of Poulos and Bennett had been selected to assist staff with the review process and the transmittal to the Department ofEconomic Opportunity, and the City had also partnered with the University of Central Florida's Master of Urban and Regional Planning's Capstone Class to research and create a Healthy Communities element to be incorporated into the City's Comprehensive Plan. She noted that as of this date there was only one county and no other municipality in the State of Florida which has included a health element in its Comprehensive Plan. She added that the updated Casselberry Comprehensive Plan has been reorganized to create a single document, whereas before it was organized into Goals, Policies and Objectives, and then Data and Analysis. She stated that with this change it will be clearer when looking at the goals, objectives and policies of one element to understand where the data analysis came from.
