Future Land Use Element - Table 2.30 As a result of the county staf f I s revision of the county I s Data Source for Commercial a Industrial Development,, the county has produced better, more accurate maps of nodes. These revised maps reflect minor differences from the previous node maps. When the comprehensive plan was adopted, the node sizes were estimated for Future Land Use Element Table 2.30. This amendment will update Future Land Use Element Table 2.30 using the best available data. The minor increase in total acres is due to the increase in accuracy of information,, not due to node expansion. Staff has also found that the boundaries separating adjacent nodes were in some cases inappropriately located. An important task associated with revising the data source was to use the best available data to determine appropriate "break points" between adjacent nodes. Changes associated with this task also have been incorporated into Future Land Use Element Table 2.30. - Policy 1.25 When the comprehensive plan was adopted, nodes were labeled either commercial,, industrial,, commercial /industrial,. hospital commercial,, or tourist commercial. These labels were unnecessaryl vague,. and confusing. The labels described basically the same type of land, commercial/industrial land. Therefore, with the adoption of this amendment,, there will be only one type of commercial or industrial land use, the commercial/industrial node. Ports, Aviation, & Related Facilities Element Figures 6.2. and 6.3 The Ports, Aviation, and Related Facilities Element contains maps depicting the general layout of each airport in the county, the clear zones associated with each airport, and pertinent surrounding features such as trees or towers relatin—g-to-each airport. These maps need to be updated as changes occur. In this case,. the end of a runway and its clear zone have changed. These amendments reflect the changes at Vero Beach Municipal Airport and New Hibiscus Airpark. 1. 3. Sani Presently, these policies are not accurate. The policies refer to an ordinance that has since been amended. This amendment will update these policies to ref er to the "County Utilities Ordinance, as amended", instead of a specific ordinance number. This change will ensure that the policies are and remain accurate. Conclusion It is staff's position that these proposed amendments will enhance the plan by facilitating needed projects within the county, and by adding accuracy and clarity to the comprehensive plan. Also, it has been demonstrated that these amendments maintain the plan's internal consistency. For these reasons, staff feels that the proposed amendments should be adopted. 43 BOOK 89 PAcF 907 JUN 22 1993
