The public hearing shall be held within a reasonable time prior to submission of the plan (as determined by the executive director) such that the public is afforded an adequate and timely comment period on the proposed plan. In determining the reasonableness of the time of the prior public hearing(s) the executive director shall consider the scope or size of the project, the progress of the originating agency toward obtaining all funding and governmental approvals, and the development of projects under the proposed plan. A steady progression of the originating agency toward development of the plan in this manner, after holding public hearings on the plan, shall constitute evidence of the reasonableness of the time of the prior public hearing.
