In this case, the subject property is part of the US# 1, 49h Street to 3 8Th Lane, Commercial/Industrial <br />node. According to the County's Commercial/Industrial node data book, this node is approximately <br />59% developed. Even though this node is not 70% developed, the subject request meets Policy 1.24 <br />because the request involves a swap of land use designations. <br />Future Land Use Element Policy 14.3 <br />Another important policy to consider in plan amendment requests is Future Land Use Element Policy <br />14.3. That policy requires that one of four criteria be met in order to approve a land use amendment <br />request. Those criteria are: <br />1. The proposed amendment will correct a mistake in the approved plan; <br />2. The proposed amendment will correct an oversight in the approved plan; <br />3. The proposed amendment is warranted based on a substantial change in circumstances <br />affecting the subject property; or <br />4. The proposed amendment involves a swap or reconfiguration of land use designations at <br />separate sites and, that swap or reconfiguration will not increase the overall land use density <br />or intensity depicted on the Future Land Use Map. <br />In this case, the proposed land use amendment meets Policy14.3's fourth criterion. Therefore the <br />, <br />proposed amendment is consistent with Policy 14.3. <br />Future Land Use Element Policy 2.2 <br />Future Land Use Element Policy 2.2 states that the county shall encourage and direct growth into the <br />urban service area through zoning and the LDRs. Since the proposed small scale land use <br />amendment and rezoning would allow and encourage more development on the subject property and <br />the subject property is within the urban service area, the request implements Future Land Use <br />Element Policy 2.2. <br />Summary of Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan <br />While the referenced policies are particularly applicable to this request, other Comprehensive Plan <br />policies and objectives also have relevance. For that reason, staff evaluated the subject request for <br />consistency with all plan policies and objectives. Based upon that analysis, staff determined that the <br />request is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. <br />rol <br />146 <br />
