JUN 22 1991 BOOK - Future Land Use Element Policy 1.25 F�r" -1 89 t �,,- 904 Future Land Use Element Policy 1.25 designates all nodes as either commercial, industrial, commercial/ industrial, tourist commercial, or hospital commercial. This policy does not include any criteria for designating or changing types of nodes, and these designations have no regulatory purpose since any commercial or industrial zoning is permitted within any node. In practice, the existence of various types of nodes confuses the public without providing specific benefits. For these reasons, designating five different types of nodes was a mistake in the original plan. Therefore, this amendment meets the first criterion of Future Land Use Element Policy 13.3. - Ports, Aviation, and Related Facilities Since the adoption of the comprehensive plan, several changes have been made to the layouts of Vero Beach Municipal Airport and New Hibiscus Airpark. These changes include moving a runway and changing a clear zone. Together,, these actions constitute a substantial change in circumstances affecting both airports and meet the third criterion of Future Land Use Element Policy 13.3. - Potable Water Sub -Element Policy 1.3. Sanitary Sewer Sub - Element Policy 1.3. and Capital Improvements Element Policy 3.5 Potable Water Sub -Element Policy 1.3, Sanitary Sewer Sub -Element Policy 1.3, and Capital Improvements Element Policy 3.5 all refer to a county ordinance which was current when the comprehensive plan was adopted but has since been amended. The amendment of the county ordinance constitutes a change in circum tances. Therefore,, this comprehensive plan amendment meets the third criterion of Future Land Use Element Policy 13.3. At least one of the Future Land Use Element Policy 13.3 criteria is met by each proposed amendment. Therefore,, all proposed amendments are consistent with Future Land Use Element Policy 13.3. Traffic Circulation Element - Citrus Highway The proposed Citrus Highway will provide several benefits. First# it would serve the citrus industry by providing more efficient movement of citrus from groves to packinghouses and then to consumers, Second# the highway would remove many large,, slow moving citrus hauling trucks from U.S. 1. Presently# there are no deficiencies on U.S. 1 in Indian River County. However , as indicated in Table 4 .7.2 of the Traf f ic Circulation Element of the comprehensive plan, deficiencies will begin occurring in 1995, if no improvements to the transportation system are made. According to Traffic Circulation Element Table 4.7.3# the entire length of U.S. 1 in Indian River County and parts of old Dixie Highway# 27th Avenue,, and 58th Avenue will be deficient by 2010j, if no improvements are made. Objectives and. policies of the comprehensive plan which are particularly applicable to this amendment are Traffic Circulation Element Policy 1.1,, Economic Development Element Policy 1.1 and Objective 4, Future Land Use Element Policy 3.4, Capital Improvements Element Policy 1.6,, and Ports,, Aviation,, and Related Facilities Element objective 3. 40
