of this tract from C/I to PUB. A concurrent rezoning Of_Suhject Property 2 is not part of this request. The purpose of this request is to redesignate Subject Property 2 to reflect its current public ownership, as well as to facilitate the development of an industrial park on and around Subject Property 1. The creation of such a park implements policies of the county's Overall Economic Development Plan and of-the'Economic Development Element of the county's comprehensive plan. On April 27, 1995, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 5-1 to recommend that the Board of County Commissioners transmit the proposed land use amendment to the State Department of Community Affairs (DCA) for their review. Although they voted to recommend transmittal of the request, several members of the Planning and Zoning Commission expressed concern over the possibility that Subject Property 1 could be developed with C/I uses other than an industrial park. On June 13, 1995, the Board of County Commissioners -voted 5-0 to transmit the proposed land use amendment request to DCA for their review. Consistent with state regulations, DCA reviewed the proposed amendment and prepared an Objections, Recommendations and Comments (ORC) Report. The ORC Report, which planning staff received. on September 5, 1995, did not contain any objections to the -proposed amendment. The ORC Report did, however, contain one comment pertaining to the- proposed amendment. That comment will be addressed in the analysis section of this staff report. In contrast to objections, comments cannot be used as a basis for finding an adopted amendment not in compliance. The Board of County Commissioners is now to decide whether or not to adopt the requested land use amendment.
