The comprehensive land use plan mandates <br /> that any centralized sanitary sewer service and potable water service shall be limited to <br /> areas within the County 's Urban Service Area ( USA) or limited areas outside the USA if <br /> permitted by comprehensive plan . In no event may these systems be extended 500 feet <br /> from the USA. <br /> The locations proposed to be served by this Utility are prohibited by the County ' s <br /> Comprehensive Plan . Further , the approval and permitting of these facilities so far away <br /> from the County ' s existing USA would promote urban sprawl as defined by the Fla . <br /> Admin .
