THE AMM SUPPORTS THE CONCEPT OF ALLuWTNG LOCAL COMPREHENSIVE PLANS <br />AND ORDINANCES WHICH CONTAIN ACCEPTABLE ENVIRONMENTAL ELEMENTS TO <br />BE USED TO SATISFY ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES ADDRESSED IN THE EAW AND <br />EIS PROCESS. FURTHER, THE. ENTIRE STATE'S ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATORY <br />SYSTEM SHOULD BE STREAMLINED IN SUCH A MANNER TO ENABLE A <br />"ONE -STOP" PERMIT SYSTEM FOR ALL STATE PERMIT REQUIREMENTS. <br />! -H COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING - LOCAL AND REGIONAL INTERACTION <br />Im—.1ementation of the legislation passed in 1976 mandating the <br />completion of local and regional comprehensive plans is nearly <br />complete. However, it must be recognized that planning is an <br />ongoing process, and several precepts should be kept in mind by <br />local units of government, the Metropolitan, Agencies, and the <br />State as this planning process continues during the 19801s. <br />YET. ROPOLITAN SYSTEM PLANS, AS WELL AS REGIONAL PLANS FOR THE <br />PUY."'AL SERVICE SYSTEMS PROVIDING FOR ORDERLY AND MANAGED GR'DW;H, <br />MAST CONTINUE TO BE SUFFICIENTLY SPECIF'C IN TERMS OF LOCATIONS, <br />CAPACITIES, AND TIMING TO ALLOW FOR COtiSIDERATION IN LOCAL <br />COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING. <br />THE REGIONAL INVESTMENT IN METROPOLITAN PHYSICAL SERVICE SYSTEMS <br />(TRANSPORTATION, WASTEWATER MANAGEMENT, AIRPORTS, AND PARK AND <br />OPEN SPACE) SHOULD CONTINUE TO BE PROTECTED BY PREVENTING ADVERSE <br />IMPACT ON THESE SYSTEMS DUE TO LACK OF INTEGRATION BETWEEN <br />REGIONAL AND ,..00A'- PLANNING. <br />CA' OFFICIALS MUST HAVE EFFECTIVE INPUT INTO THE REGIONAL <br />?:.ANNING PROCESS ON AN ONGOING BASIS. <br />DESIGNATION OF OTHER PLANS AS METROpCOLITAN SYSTEMS PLANS SHOULD <br />NCT BE MADE UNLESS THERE IS A COM?ELLING METROPOLITAN AREA WIDE <br />PROBLEM OR CONCERT: THAT CAN ONLY BE SOLVED THROUGH A REGIONAL <br />SYSTEM. <br />IV -I REZONING REQUIREMENTS - CITIES OF THE FIRST CLASS <br />7'-.e State Municipal Planning Act sets forth special reGuir-=ner;ts <br />for rezoning in Cities or the First Cla:s. Land can be rezone.: <br />::nly with a. consent petition approved by two-thirds of the <br />;roperty owners within 100 feet of the property to be rezoned or <br />ty a "40-acre study". In effect, neighboring property owners have <br />more power over rezoning than the elected :ity officials. Also, <br />t^,is causes a problem for the cities of the first class in meeting <br />the requirements of the Metropolitan Land Planning Act. <br />THEREFORE THE AMM RECOMMENDS THAT THE MUNICIPAL PLANNING ACT BE <br />RE'�ISED TC MAKE: THE REQUIREMENTS FOR REZONING IN CITIES OF THE <br />FIRST CLASS CONSISTENT WITH THE REQUIREMENT:, FOR EEZ ONING IN <br />
