Future Land Use Element Policies 1.17 and 1.23 Future Land Use Element Policy 1.17 states that all commercial/industrial uses must be located within the County's Urban Service Area. Future Land Use Element Policy 1.23 states that C/I Node configuration shall provide for the most efficient use of land, and of transportation and other public facilities and services, while eliminating sprawl and strip development. Since the subject property is located within the County's Urban Service Area and the requested CRVP district is intended to be located in C/I Nodes the request is consistent with Future Land Use Element Policy 1.17. The proposed CRVP district is also appropriate for the subject property because of its location adjacent to a north/south Interstate Highway and a major east/west state road. Commercial recreational vehicle parks are a transient oriented residential business appropriate for locations near major road corridors and appropriate for being located behind commercial uses (does not require immediate road frontage like commercial retail uses). Future Land Use Element Policy 2.2 Future Land Use Element Policy 2.2 states that the county shall encourage and direct growth into the 2030 Urban Service Area through zoning, subdivision, and land development regulations. Such regulations shall promote efficient development by requiring utilization of the existing street system, extension of public facilities where necessary, connection to the centralized potable water and sanitary sewer systems where available, and incentives for mixed use projects. Since the proposed rezoning would allow and encourage more development on the subject property and the subject property is within the urban service area, the request implements Future Land Use Element Policy 2.2.

The proposed rezoning to commercial recreational vehicle park will provide the opportunity to develop the site for a recreational vehicle park which will assist the county's efforts to promote tourism by offering an amenity for a growing segment of the tourism market. This will in turn allow the county to increase its tourist tax revenue (bed taxes) to use for promoting the County's local tourism industry. Future Land Use Element Table 2.14 Future Land Use Element Table 2.14 illustrates which zoning districts are permitted in certain land use designations. As indicated in that table, the CRVP zoning district is permitted in the C/I, Commercial Industrial Future Land Use designation. Because the subject property is located on land that has a C/I Future Land Use designation, this request is consistent with Future Land Use Element Table 2.14. Since the subject property is located within the County's Urban Service Area and the requested CRVP district is intended to be located in C/I designated areas, and benefit from being at locations near major interstate and in-state roadways the request is consistent with Future Land Use Element Objective 1, Policies 1.17, 1.23, 2.2. and Table 2.14.
