• Character of an area <br />• Environmental impact <br />Policy 1.20: Commercial/Industrial designated areas shall be structured as nodes. These nodes <br />shall be located along roads with functional classifications appropriate to the level of activity. <br />Polices: Indian River County recognizes that, because of the scale of the Future Land Use <br />Map, the exact boundaries of Commercial/Industrial nodes delineated on the map may require <br />interpretation in order to determine the exact land use designation of various parcels, lots, and <br />tracts. Therefore, when necessary, the following criteria shall be used to establish the location of <br />a specific node boundary line on large-scale node boundary maps and on the county's zoning <br />atlas: <br />a. A node boundary line is subject to interpretation only when an inspection of the Future <br />Land Use Map reveals that a boundary line does not obviously correspond to a major <br />roadway right-of-way, canal, water body, section line, or corporate limit delineated on the <br />Map. <br />b. If the location of a node boundary line is subject to interpretation because it does not <br />obviously correspond to a natural or man-made feature listed above, then the location of <br />the boundary line shall be determined by the following criteria: <br />1. If inspection of the Future Land Use Map and maps depicting lot, parcel or tract <br />lines reveals that a node boundary line splits a lot, parcel or tract, and if the <br />portion of the split lot, parcel or tract within the node is precluded from <br />development, as permitted by the Future Land Use Map designation, because of <br />such split, then the node boundary line shall be located to exclude the entire lot, <br />parcel or tract from the node; or <br />2. If inspection of the Future Land Use Map and maps depicting lot, parcel or tract <br />lines reveals that a node boundary line splits a lot, parcel or tract, and if the <br />portion of the split lot, parcel or tract outside the node is precluded from <br />development, as permitted by the Future Land Use Map designation, because of <br />such split, then the node boundary line may be extended up to 500 feet to <br />incorporate the entire split lot, parcel or tract provided that no more than five <br />additional acres are added to the node. An extension of a node boundary line to <br />include within the node an entire lot, parcel or tract that would otherwise be <br />precluded from development if the boundary line were not extended shall be <br />approved by the Board of County Commissioners upon recommendation by the <br />Planning and Zoning Commission in conjunction with a rezoning of the affected <br />property. To prevent repetitive extension of the boundary line, a node boundary <br />line may be extended one time only and shall be permanently fixed and final <br />unless changed by an approved plan amendment. <br />Future Land Use Element 139 <br />
