<br /> <br /> <br />PAGE 8 <br /> <br />GOP Number GOP Language Recommended Action Comments/Rationale <br />Policy 1.19: <br />Land development regulations shall provide performance standards for commercial/industrial development which at a <br />minimum address, but are not limited to, the following: <br />• Land use compatibility, buffering and landscaping <br />• Access points, traffic controls, and parking <br />• Signage <br />• Gross floor area, impervious surface ratios <br />• Open space <br />• Character of an area <br />• Environmental impact <br />No Change <br />Policy 1.20: Commercial/Industrial designated areas shall be structured as nodes. These nodes shall be located along roads with <br />functional classifications appropriate to the level of activity. No Change <br />Policy 1.21: <br />Indian River County recognizes that, because of the scale of the Future Land Use Map, the exact boundaries of <br />Commercial/Industrial nodes delineated on the map may require interpretation in order to determine the exact land <br />use designation of various parcels, lots, and tracts. Therefore, when necessary, the following criteria shall be used to <br />establish the location of a specific node boundary line on large-scale node boundary maps and on the county's zoning <br />atlas: <br /> <br />a. A node boundary line is subject to interpretation only when an inspection of the Future Land Use Map reveals that a <br />boundary line does not obviously correspond to a major roadway right-of-way, canal, water body, section line, or <br />corporate limit delineated on the Map. <br />b. If the location of a node boundary line is subject to interpretation because it does not obviously correspond to a <br />natural or man-made feature listed above, then the location of the boundary line shall be determined by the following <br />criteria: <br />1. If inspection of the Future Land Use Map and maps depicting lot, parcel or tract lines reveals that a node <br />boundary line splits a lot, parcel or tract, and if the portion of the split lot, parcel or tract within the node is <br />precluded from development, as permitted by the Future Land Use Map designation, because of such split, <br />then the node boundary line shall be located to exclude the entire lot, parcel or tract from the node; or <br /> 2. If inspection of the Future Land Use Map and maps depicting lot, parcel or tract lines reveals that a node <br />boundary line splits a lot, parcel or tract, and if the portion of the split lot, parcel or tract outside the node is <br />precluded from development, as permitted by the Future Land Use Map designation, because of such split, <br />then the node boundary line may be extended up to 500 feet to incorporate the entire split lot, parcel or tract <br />provided that no more than five additional acres are added to the node. An extension of a node boundary line <br />to include within the node an entire lot, parcel or tract that would otherwise be precluded from development if <br />the boundary line were not extended shall be approved by the Board of County Commissioners upon <br />recommendation by the Planning and Zoning Commission in conjunction with a rezoning of the affected <br />property. To prevent repetitive extension of the boundary line, a node boundary line may be extended one <br />time only and shall be permanently fixed and final unless changed by an approved plan amendment. <br />c. Reference in this policy to the terms "parcel, lot or tract" shall not include any alterations to the property's tax parcel <br />legal description that are made after February 13, 1990. <br />No Change Note, information is tracked and analyzed; no (limited) changes have <br />been undertaken per this Policy <br />Policy 1.22: Node size shall be based on the intended use, service area population, existing land use pattern, and other demand <br />characteristics. Revise Specify additional considerations such as available services including <br />transportation
