A vote against the regional cooperation agreement is a vote for the development patterns of the past 50 years.
No, it is not. Voting to adopt this plan has NO impact on whether Independence is approved or not. The comprehensive plan is not a zoning ordinance. Without adopting a regional plan, EHT would just need to spend money to update its own independent comprehensive plan.
I do see the regional plan as increasing the funding, size and scope of the LIMC, which I am not sure is really needed.
The Municipal Planning Code Section 303:
QUOTE
© Notwithstanding any other provision of this act, no action by the governing body of a municipality shall be invalid nor shall the same be subject to challenge or appeal on the basis that such action is inconsistent with, or fails to comply with, the provision of a comprehensive plan.
(d) Municipal zoning, subdivision and land development regulations and capital improvement programs shall generally implement the municipal and multimunicipal comprehensive plan or, where none exists, the municipal statement of community development objectives.
