The IHP lawfully applied a 'reasonably foreseen logical consequence' test, consistent with the RMA scope orthodoxy and statutory scheme in Part 4 LGATPA; it was not required to identify every supporting submission area-by-area, s32 does not rigidly limit scope in a full unitary plan review, and most contested rezonings were within scope; however discrete disenabling changes that directly affect non-participants (Strand Holdings and Wallace Group examples) required clearer notice and were outside scope.
