Volusia County Comprehensive Plan: Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR)
(Revised April 2007)

The State Growth Management Act requires that local governments periodically review and update their adopted Comprehensive Plans according to a schedule established by State statute. The Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR) evaluates how successful the County has been in addressing major community issues through its comprehensive plan. The update began with an extensive public input and scoping process to identify major community issues that were addressed with the preparation of the EAR by County staff. The County’s EAR was adopted by the County Council on August 17, 2006 and found to be sufficient by the Florida Department of Community Affairs on October 30, 2006.

The EAR suggests how the comprehensive plan should be revised to better address the community issues identified in the EAR. The next step in the EAR process has begun with preparation by staff of the EAR based plan amendments.
