PAGE 9 GOP Number GOP Language Recommended Action Comments/Rationale Policy 1.23: 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. Remove (Consolidate) Consolidate with 1.22 due to similar language Policy 1.24: No node shall be expanded unless 70% of the subject node’s land area (less rights-of-way) is developed with non- residential and non-agricultural uses, or approved for non-residential and non-agricultural development, or otherwise warranted by the proposed development. Otherwise warranted may include but not be limited to the following: • Developed percentage of a node is between 60% and 70% and the node expansion meets one of the following criteria: • expansion of the node is necessary to accommodate the expansion of an existing use where there is not suitable vacant land adjacent to the use within the node, the land proposed for inclusion is owned or controlled by the owner of the site containing the use proposed for expansion, and a finding is made by the Board of County Commissioners that no other land in the node can feasibly accommodate the expansion of the referenced use, or • expansion of an existing node is necessary to adjust a node boundary that splits a small parcel of land and a finding is made by the Board of County Commissioners that development of the parcel is not feasible with the split land use designation and that inclusion of the parcel in the node is more appropriate than exclusion of the parcel from the node. • Expansion of a node is necessary to accommodate a use (such as a regional mall or a large-scale research/technology/industrial park) which has a substantial land area requirement and no alternative suitable sites are available in existing nodes. • Expansion of a node is necessary to correct an oversight or a mistake in the plan affecting property that meets the following criteria: • the property is residentially designated; • the property was given a residential designation as a result of an oversight or a mistake; • the property is unsuitable for residential use; • the property is adjacent to a node; and • the property is no more than 10 acres in size. No Change per County staff guidance and review Policy 1.25: Commercial/industrial nodes shall not be created or expanded to within 1 ½ miles of an existing commercial/industrial node. This policy shall apply only to commercial/ industrial nodes that conformed to the 1½ miles requirement on December 31, 1997. No Change Policy is still desired by County and provides guidance. Policy 1.26: Given the existing concentration of commercial uses in the SR 60/58th Avenue commercial/industrial node and the volume of traffic that traverses the SR 60/58th Avenue intersection, the county hereby caps the SR 60/58th Avenue commercial/industrial node at its present size, which is 329.91 acres. No Change Policy 1.27: Consistent with the Historic Roseland Neighborhood Plan, the county hereby caps the Roseland/US Highway 1 commercial/industrial node at its present size, which is 135.04 acres. That plan determined that there is sufficient land within that node to accommodate needed commercial and industrial uses for area residents. This limitation on node expansion shall not prohibit the expansion of the node for medical uses. No Change Policy 1.28: The Board of County Commissioners may initiate a land use designation amendment to change C/I designated land to residential, provided that all of the following conditions exist: • The parcel has been redesignated to C/I, Commercial/Industrial, since comprehensive plan adoption on February 13, 1990; No Change
