Resolving Conflicting Designations
• Counties and municipalities should work closely on Tier development to identify and resolve these early in the process
• If conflicts are not resolved, SB236 establishes a process to resolve them

Changes to Tiers over Time
• Until Tiers are included in the comprehensive plan, a local jurisdiction can change the Tiers administratively
• Once the Tiers are included in a comprehensive plan, Tiers only can be changed through a local jurisdiction’s comprehensive planning process.
• Rezonings, water/sewer plan amendments and other changes will change Tier designations
