DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS The Planning Department has initiated a request to amend the Comprehensive Land Use Plan by enlarging the Oslo Road/74th Avenue Commercial/Industrial node from 450 to 690 acres. The property proposed for inclusion is located between 82nd and 74th Avenues and south of 5th Street S.W. On March 3, 1987, the Board of County Commissioners voted to. establish the boundaries for the 450 acre node. Due to the interest by property owners in the area and the need for addi- tional land for future industrial development, the Board, as part of its approval motion, directed staff to examine the possibility of expanding this node. On September 10, 1987, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 4-1 to recommend denial of this request. Their recommendation was based on their opinion that expansion of this node was premature at this time, and future expansion should be based on demand demonstrated by development. On October 27, 1987, the Board of County Commissioners voted 4-0 to transmit this request to the DCA for their review. DCA COMMENTS On January 13, 1988, the DCA responded to this request as follows: With the exception of Items 89 and 94, the proposed amendments do not appear to be in conflict or inconsistent with the policies contained in the Regional Comprehensive Policy Plan. Items 8.9 and 94 are requests to change land from an agricultural designation to a commercial/industrial designation. Both of these requests would expand existing identified commercial/indus- trial nodes, however, they do not lie within the urban services boundary shown in the Indian River County Comprehensive Plan. - Lying outside of the urban services boundary of the County plan, they do not fall within the urban services area of the Regional Comprehensive Policy Plan (RCPP). A conflict then arises in that such a designation is allowed outside of the urban service boundary in the County plan but would not appear to be compatible with the RCPP. The urban service area of the RCPP generally recognizes all locally permitted land uses where there will be a full range and level of urban services at the time of development. 69 MAR 15 198 BOOK7:1 Fri E 2;38
