MAR � `681 <br />BOOK 67 <br />On July 29, 1986, the Board of County Commissioners adopted an <br />amendment to the text of the Land Use Plan which enlarged the <br />Oslo Road/74th Avenue Commercial/ Industrial Node from 230 acres <br />to 450 acres. <br />On January 22, 1987, the Planning & Zoning Commission voted <br />7 -to -0 to recommend approval of the proposed boundaries. <br />ALTERNATIVES & ANALYSIS <br />The proposed boundaries of the Oslo Road/74th Avenue <br />Commercial/ Industrial Node were prepared based on the following <br />criteria: <br />1. The general description and size constraint of the node <br />as described in the text of the Land Use Element; <br />2. The existing industrial uses in the general area of the <br />node; <br />3. The existing zoning pattern; <br />4. Property boundaries; <br />5. Traffic considerations; and <br />6. Environmental considerations. <br />All of the nodes are generally described in the Comprehensive <br />Plan. The Oslo Road/74th Avenue Commercial/ Industrial Node is <br />described as: <br />"A four hundred fifty (450) acre commercial/ industrial node <br />is located at the southwest corner of the 74th Avenue <br />(Range Line Road) and Oslo Road intersection." <br />All of the property proposed for inclusion in the node is zoned <br />either CG, General Commercial District; IG, General Industrial <br />District; or A-1, Agricultural District. The proposed node <br />boundaries follow property lines and the existing <br />commercial/industrial zoning district boundaries in most cases. <br />Existing Land Use Pattern <br />The property in the node area zoned IG, General Industrial <br />District, located south of Oslo Road is occupied by the following <br />industrial uses: The Ocean Spray facility, the Hercules Pectin <br />Plant and Perfection Trusses, Inc. These uses when combined <br />comprise approximately 90 acres of the node area. The remaining <br />area basically consists of groves and vacant land. The County's <br />sanitary landfill and a correctional facility are located south <br />of the node. <br />Transportation System <br />The Oslo Road/74th Avenue Commercial/ Industrial Node has access <br />to Oslo Road (9th St. S.W.) and I-95 (both designated as <br />arterials on the County's Thoroughfare Plan). The node also has <br />access to 82nd Avenue (classified as a primary collector) and. <br />74th Avenue (classified as a secondary collector). <br />Environment <br />The node area is not designated as environmentally sensitive. <br />The majority of the node area is not located in a flood -prone <br />area; except for approximately 960,000 square feet (22.04 acres-) <br />of property located in the southeastern portion of the node which <br />is in Flood Zone A. <br />34 <br />
