On September 12, 1984, the Board of County Commissioners adopted an amendment to the text of the Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan which provided for establishing boundaries for each of the nodes as generally described in the text of the Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan. Once a node size and location are established, or the size of an established•=node is changed, the planning staff is required to establish a fixed boundary around all land encompassed within the node. This entails a detailed analysis of all parcels proposed for inclusion. This proposed boundary is then presented to the Planning and Zoning Commission for their recommendation. The Planning and Zoning Commission may recommend approval of all or part of the staff's proposal, or may deny the entire proposal. Should the Commissioners approve in part or deny the proposed boundaries, they may recommend alternate boundaries. The staff then presents the recommended boundaries, or any proposed alternatives, to the Board of County Commissioners. The Board then makes a final determination of the node boundaries. On March 15, 1988, the Board of comprehensive plan amendment Commercial/Industrial node from current request is to amend the additional 145 acres included in County Commissioners approved a to enlarge the I-95/S.R. 60 650 acres to 795 acres. The node boundaries to encompass the that amendment. On June 23, 1988, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of this request. ALTERNATIVES & ANALYSIS The proposed boundaries of the I-95/S.R. 60 Commercial/Industrial Node were prepared based on the following criteria: 1. The general description and size constraint of the node as described in the text of the Land Use Element; 2. The existing commercial and industrial uses in the general area of the node; 3. The existing zoning pattern; 4. Property boundaries; 5. Traffic considerations; and 6. Environmental considerations. The I-95/S.R. 60 Commercial/ Industrial Node is described in the Comprehensive Plan as follows: "This is a commercial/industrial node containing seven hundred ninty-five (795) acres". In establishing or revising node boundaries, the staff attempts to follow property lines or zoning district boundaries. If it is not possible to utilize either of the aforementioned methods, alternate methods such as uniform distances from right-of-way lines or extensions of dead end right-of-way centerlines are utilized. 11 ror 73 Fact- 441
