It is the intention of the town that this chapter implement the planning policies recommended by the Town Planning Commission and adopted by the Town Board and its extraterritorial planning area, as reflected in the comprehensive plan and other planning documents. While this relationship is reaffirmed, it is the intent of the town that neither this chapter nor any amendment to it may be challenged on the basis of any alleged nonconformity with any planning document.
(A) Requirement for comprehensive plan amendment. Where a development proposal would be in substantial conflict with the comprehensive plan, an amendment to the comprehensive plan will be required prior to any zoning or subdivision approvals. A substantial conflict will exist when a development proposal would result in changes from the designations of the land use plan maps, circulation and transportation plan map or open space and parks plan map in the comprehensive plan.
(B) Criteria for evaluating amendment proposals. Amendments to the comprehensive plan resulting from development proposals under this chapter shall be evaluated according to the criteria and procedure outlined in the comprehensive plan.
