BOOK 91 FAr,F �.,56 <br />DEC ®71993 <br />The amount of C/I designated land is based on service area <br />population, the existing land use pattern, and other demand <br />characteristics. The proposed amendment will not alter the amount <br />of C/I designated land. Therefore, the proposed amendment is <br />consistent with Future Land Use Element Policy 1.20. <br />- Future Land Use Element Policy 1.21 <br />Future Land Use Element Policy 1.21 states that node boundaries <br />should provide for efficient land uses and maximum use of <br />transportation facilities while eliminating strip development. <br />Based on demand characteristics, the most efficient uses of the <br />subject sites are as requested in the proposed amendment. <br />Additionally, C/I designated land along C.R. 510 would provide for <br />the maximum use of that transportation facility. Subject Property <br />1, located on a corner, with access to two roads, has ample depth <br />as well as width. Therefore, redesignation of the subject <br />properties will not result in strip development. For these <br />reasons, the proposed amendment is consistent with Future Land Use <br />Element Policy 1.21. <br />- Future Land Use Element Policy 1.23 <br />Future Land Use Element Policy 1.23 states that 70% of the land <br />area of a node should be developed with non-residential and non- <br />agricultural uses before that node is considered for expansion. <br />When considered separately, the node containing Subject Property 1 <br />does not meet this standard. <br />The intent of this policy, however, is to regulate increases in the <br />amount of C/I designated land. Since the proposed amendment <br />intends to remove an equal amount of land from one node as is to be <br />added to an adjacent node, there would be no increase in the amount <br />of C/I designated land associated with this amendment. For that <br />reason, Future Land Use Element Policy 1.23's 70% developed <br />standard does not apply to this amendment. <br />- Future Land Use Element Policy 1.24 <br />Future Land Use Policy 1.24 states that any property redesignated <br />commercial through a land use plan amendment shall revert to its <br />former designation if construction on the site has not commenced <br />within a two year period, unless such timeframe is modified by the <br />Board of County Commissioners as part of a development agreement. <br />This policy decreases land speculation, and helps ensure that <br />demand for additional C/I designated land is present before <br />requests to expand nodes.are approved. This policy also allows for <br />the correction of nodes mistakenly expanded in the absence of <br />demand for more C/I designated land. <br />- Economic Development Element Policy 1.1 <br />Economic Development Element Policy 1.1 states that the county <br />shall encourage the attraction of new businesses. The proposed <br />amendment will move C/I designated land from an area where it is <br />unlikely to be used to an area where it will be developed. The <br />location of Subject Property 1 on a major road in a fast growing <br />area is attractive to commercial businesses. Therefore, the <br />proposed amendment is consistent with Economic Development Element <br />Policy 1.1. <br />As part of the staff analysis, all policies in the comprehensive <br />plan were considered. Based upon this analysis, staff determined <br />54 <br />_ M M <br />
