ROOK ��. r Rased on demand characteristics, the most efficient uses of the subject sites are as requested in the proposed amendment. Additionally, C/I designated land along S.R. 60 would provide for the maximum use of that transportation facility. Subject Property 1, located on a corner, with access to two roads, has ample depth as well as width. Therefore, redesignation of the subject properties will not result in strip development. For these reasons, the proposed amendment is consistent with Future Land Use Element Policy 1.21. Future Land Use Element Policy 1.23 Future Land Use Element Policy 1.23 states that 70% of the land area of a node should be developed with non-residential and non- agricultural uses before that node is considered for expansion. When considered separately, the node containing Subject Property 1 does not meet this standard. The intent of this policy, however, is to regulate increases in the amount of C/I designated land. Since the proposed amendment removes an equal amount of land from one node as is added to an adjacent node, there would be no increase in the amount of C/I designated land associated with this amendment. For that reason, Future Land Use Element Policy 1.23's 70% developed standard does - not apply to this amendment. - Future Land Use Element Policy 1.24 Future Land Use Policy 1.24 states that any property redesignated commercial through a land use plan amendment shall revert to its former designation if construction on the site has not commenced within a two year period, unless such timeframe is modified by the Board of County Commissioners as part of a development agreement. This policy decreases land speculation, and helps ensure that demand for additional C/I designated land is present before requests to expand nodes are approved. This policy also allows for the correction of nodes mistakenly expanded in the absence of demand for -more C/I designated land. - Future Land Use Element Policy 1.27 Future Land Use Element Policy 1.27 states that the Public Facilities designation should be within the urban service area and is intended for public facilities and services. Since Subject Property 2 is within the urban service area and is programmed for public facility use (landfill), the proposed amendment is consistent with Future Land Use Element Policy 1.27. - Economic Development Element Policy 1.1 Economic Development Element Policy 1.1 .states that the county shall encourage the attraction of new industries and businesses, including clean "high tech" industries. The proposed amendment will move C/I designated land from an area to be developed with public uses to an area that is attractive to clean "high tech" industries. Therefore, the proposed amendment is consistent with Economic Development Element Policy 1.1. - Economic Development Element Policy 6.2 Economic Development Element Policy 6.2 states that the county shall evaluate the configuration of nodes to ensure they can properly provide for -growth. Since the proposed' amendMeni reconfigures -the two subject M-0des to better provide for growth, the proposed amendment implements Economic Development Element Policy 6.2. 58 October 24, 1995
