Box � 99 FnE 765 <br />Fronting a major road, adjacent to C/I designated land, and with <br />urban services available, Subject Property 1 is appropriate for <br />industrial uses. The minor expansion of the USA associated with <br />this request would ensure that Subject Property 1 would remain <br />within the USA. The proposed amendment would allow industrial <br />development on Subject Property 1. Therefore, the proposed <br />amendment is consistent with Future Land Use Element Policy 1.17. <br />- Future Land Use Element Policy 1.20 <br />Future Land Use Element <br />designated size based <br />population, existing <br />characteristics. <br />Policy 1.20 states that nodes shall have a <br />on the intended use and service area <br />land use pattern and other demand <br />Based on the above criteria, including service area population <br />projections, the county has an acknowledged overallocation of C/I <br />designated land. Since this request would actually reduce that <br />overallocation by reducing the amount of C/I designated land by <br />16.6 acres, the proposed amendment is consistent with Future Land <br />Use Element Policy 1.20. <br />- Future Land Use Element Policy 1.21 <br />Future Land Use Element Policy 1.21 states that node boundaries <br />should provide for efficient land uses and maximum use of <br />transportation facilities while eliminating strip development. <br />Based on demand characteristics, the most efficient uses of the <br />subject sites are as requested in the proposed amendment. <br />Additionally, C/I designated land along SR 60 would provide for the <br />maximum use of that transportation facility. Subject Property 1, <br />with access to two roads, has ample depth as well as width. <br />Therefore, redesignation of the subject properties will not result <br />in strip development. For these reasons, the proposed amendment is <br />consistent with Future Land Use Element Policy 1.21. <br />- Future Land Use Element Policy 1.23 <br />Future Land Use Element Policy 1.23 states that 70% of the land <br />area of a node should be developed with non-residential and non- <br />agricultural uses before that node is considered for expansion. <br />When considered separately, the node containing Subject Property 1 <br />does not meet this standard. <br />The intent of this policy, however, is to regulate increases in the <br />amount of C/I designated land. Since the proposed amendment <br />removes more land from one node than is added to another node, <br />there would be no increase in the amount of C/I designated land <br />associated with this amendment. For that reason, Future Land Use <br />Element Policy 1.23's 70% developed standard does not apply to this <br />amendment. <br />- Future Land Use Element Policy 1.24 <br />Future Land Use Policy 1.24 states that any property redesignated <br />commercial through a land use plan amendment shall revert to its <br />former designation if construction on the site has not commenced <br />within a two year period, unless such timeframe is modified by the <br />Board of County Commissioners as part of a development agreement. <br />This policy decreases land speculation, and helps ensure that <br />demand for additional C/I designated land is present before <br />requests to expand nodes are approved. This policy also allows for <br />the correction of nodes mistakenly expanded in the absence of <br />demand for more C/I designated land. <br />- Future Land Use Element Policy 1.27 <br />Future Land Use Element Policy 1.27 states that the Public <br />Facilities designation should be within the urban service area and <br />is intended for public facilities and services. Since Subject <br />Property 2 is within the urban service area and is programmed for <br />public facility use (the recycling park), the proposed amendment is <br />consistent with Future Land Use Element Policy 1.27. <br />- Future Land Use Element Policy 2.2 <br />Future Land Use Element Policy 2.2 states that the USA should <br />contain areas which receive services deemed necessary to support <br />urban and suburban development.
