Policy .41: The county shall encourage the school board to locate schools near urban residential areas. The county will do this by allowing schools within all residential zoning districts; by coordinating with the school board to establish a process for preliminary county review of school sites before the school board acquires or leases property for a new school; and by limiting school sites within agriculturally designated areas to mixed use projects, traditional neighborhood design projects, and sites that are contiguous to the urban service area boundary. Policy 1.42: To the extent feasible, the county shall collocate public facilities, such as parks, libraries, and community centers,with schools. Policy 1.43: The Board of County Commissioners shall rezone land only in a manner that is consistent with Future Land Use Element Table 2.14. Furthermore, the Board recognizes that not every zoning district allowed in a land use designation is appropriate for every site within that land use designation. For any parcel, the Board of County Commissioners may deny a rezoning request(even when the requested zoning district is consistent with the parcel's land use designation) if the denial serves a legitimate public purpose. A Board of County Commissioners' determination that the requested zoning district is not appropriate for the parcel may also be based upon the absence of the following locational criteria: 1.
