BOOK 103 PAGE 7i JPAs are areas that require coordinated planning. Examples of these areas may include environmentally important land that straddles a jurisdictional boundary, a roadway corridor that runs through more than one jurisdiction, or an area in one jurisdiction that receives services from another jurisdiction. Identifying JPAs allows local governments to maximize existing resources and to avoid future problems. The proposed amendment also requires the identification of LULUs, which are usually public facilities that are needed by the community, but have large impacts on nearby areas. Examples of LULUs include landfills and wastewater treatment plants. By identifying existing and planned LULUS, local governments can work to reduce and mitigate impacts The proposed amendments will enhance the County's comprehensive plan by updating the Future Land Use and Intergovernmental Coordination Elements to reflect changes in state law and other circumstances. The proposed changes to the Future Land Use Element add accuracy and clarity to the comprehensive plan. The analysis demonstrates that these amendments maintain the plan's internal consistency. Finally, the analysis addresses DCA's ORC Report objections. For these reasons, staff supports the adoption of the proposed amendments. Based on the analysis, staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners approve the proposed amendments to the comprehensive plan by adopting the attached ordinance. Community Development Director Bob Keating reviewed the text amendments and the DCA objections and comments. The DCA objected to the following: (1) no specific limit on recreational uses in conservation areas; (2) no intensity standards for non-residential uses in residential areas; and (3) no percentage of uses within C/I areas. The DCA also made 2 comments: (1) some confusion over the numbering of tables and (2) compliments to the County on their improved Plan. Chairman Macht noted that the Board will now have more latitude in assigning density, and Director Keating responded that New Policy 1.41 adds standards that allow the Board to grant less than the maximum rezoning requested by the applicant The Chairman opened the public hearing and asked if anyone wished to be heard in this matter. Renee Renzi, 340 East Waverly Place, wanted to know what the allowed recreational uses are for the Flinn tract and informed the Board that she has seen men with bundles in the area and believes that they are camping there.
