This bill clarifies the process by which the state shall review and certify county and municipal comprehensive plans. It also corrects several inconsistencies in the Code that have been created over the years as the state’s land use laws have changed and evolved. The bill would eliminate the Governor’s Advisory Council on Planning Coordination and transfer its responsibilities to the Cabinet Committee on State Planning Issues and the Office of State Planning Coordination. In addition, the bill would (1) change to July 1 the deadline by which counties and municipalities must provide annual reports to OSPC, so that information can be included in the Cabinet Committee’s annual report prepared in October; (2) permit (but not require) the Cabinet Committee to develop guidelines for such annual reports; (3) authorize the Cabinet Committee to extend the deadline for counties and municipalities to submit comprehensive plans; and (4) explicitly authorizes OSPC to prepare the State Strategies for Policies and Spending document and maps.

An Act To Amend Titles 9, 22, And 29 Of The Delaware Code Relating To The Review And Certification Of Comprehensive Plans And The Role Of The Cabinet Committee On State Planning Issues And The Office Of State Planning Coordination.
