While all comprehensive plan policies are important, some have more applicability than others in <br />reviewing rezoning requests. Of particular applicability for this request are Future Land Use <br />Element Policies 1.17, 1.18, and 1.43. <br />• Future Land Use Element Policies 1.17 and 1.18 <br />Future Land Use Element Policy 1.17 states that all commercial/industrial uses must be located <br />within the County's Urban Service Area. Future Land Use Element Policy 1.18 states that the <br />commercial/industrial land use designation allows uses, subject to applicable zoning district <br />regulations, that include business and personal services, retail, office, and storage/warehousing <br />uses. <br />Since the subject property is located within the County's Urban Service Area and the requested <br />IG, CH, and CG districts are intended for uses permitted within the commercial/industrial land use <br />designation, the request is consistent with Future Land Use Element Policies 1.17 and 1.18. <br />• Future Land Use Element Policy 1.43 <br />Future Land Use Element Policy 1.43 provides criteria that the Board of County Commissioners <br />may use to determine whether or not a proposed zoning district is appropriate for a particular site. <br />Below are tables listing the specific rezoning criteria from Policy 1.43 for CG, CH, and IG zoning <br />districts and staff determinations of how the criteria are met. <br />Table 1 <br />SUBJECT PROPERTY #1 <br />Proposed General Industrial (IG) Zoning District <br />Review Criteria <br />Meets <br />Criteria? <br />Comments <br />1.
