Amending the Comprehensive Plan
How long does a Comprehensive Plan Amendment take?
The CPA process for large-scale amendments usually requires a minimum of six months for completion, although circumstances may extend the processing time. Small-scale amendments may be processed more quickly. A CPA might be subject to review by an Administrative Law Judge if DCA issues a Notice of Intent NOI to find the plan amendment "not in compliance" or if an administrative petition is filed with the State by an affected person appealing the decision. A review / challenge will generally add additional time to the review process. The 2011 schedule for large-scale amendments has been determined as follows:
