levels between those of arterials and subdivision collectors, this <br />segment of Roseland Road should be designated as a collector road. <br />The land uses in the area also indicate that this segment of <br />Roseland Road should be designated a collector road. This segment <br />begins in a commercial/industrial node, at the intersection of two <br />major roads (U.S. 1 and Roseland Road). All four corners of this <br />intersection are zoned CG, General Commercial. Uses located at <br />this intersection include major shopping centers, a grocery store, <br />a convenience store, a fast food restaurant, and a drug store. <br />Traffic Circulation Element Policies 1.1 and 3.2, and Objective 5 <br />are particularly applicable to this amendment. These parts of the <br />comprehensive plan relate to the regulation and monitoring of the <br />thoroughfare roadway system. <br />Despite high volumes, this segment of Roseland Road is not part of <br />the thoroughfare roadway system and, therefore, is not monitored <br />for LOS. In reality, this segment performs the same functions as <br />other thoroughfare roads. If designated a collector road, this <br />segment would become part of the thoroughfare roadway system and <br />would have to meet minimum LOS standards. Therefore, this <br />amendment is consistent with Traffic Circulation Element Policies <br />1.1 and 3.2, and Objective 5. <br />Staff also reviewed potential environmental impacts of this <br />amendment. Since the areas surrounding this segment -of Roseland <br />Road are already disturbed, this amendment is not anticipated to <br />have any significant adverse environmental impacts. <br />Future Land Use Element <br />- Table 2.30 <br />As a result of the county staff's revision of the county's Data <br />Source for Commercial & Industrial Development, the county has <br />produced better, more accurate maps of nodes. These revised maps <br />reflect minor differences from the previous node maps. When the <br />comprehensive plan was adopted, the node sizes were estimated for <br />Future Land Use Element Table 2.30. This amendment will update <br />Future Land Use Element Table 2.30 using the best available data. <br />The minor increase in total acres is due to the increase in <br />accuracy of information, not due to node expansion. <br />Staff has also found that the boundaries separating adjacent nodes <br />were in some cases inappropriately located. An important task <br />associated with revising. the data source was to use the best <br />available data to determine appropriate "break points" between <br />adjacent nodes. Changes associated with this task also have been <br />incorporated into Future Land Use Element Table 2.30. <br />- Policy 1.25 <br />When the comprehensive plan was adopted, nodes were labeled either <br />commercial, industrial, commercial/ industrial,, hospital commercial, <br />or tourist commercial. These labels were unnecessary, vague, and <br />confusing. The labels described basically the same type of land, <br />commercial/industrial land. Therefore, with the adoption of this <br />amendment, there will be only one type of commercial or industrial <br />land use, the commercial/industrial node. <br />Ports, Aviation, & Related Facilities Element Figures 6.2, and 6.3 <br />The Ports, Aviation, and Related Facilities Element contains maps <br />depicting the general layout of each airport in the county, the <br />39 <br />NOV <br />23199-1 <br />BOOK 91 PrJE 75 <br />
