BOOK D3 PAGE 79
<br />• Expansion of a node is necessary to accommodate a substantial change in circumstances
<br />affecting a property adjacent to the node, where said change has had the effect of making the
<br />property unsuitable for residential use. Such change could include establishment of an
<br />adjacent, incompatible use, or a significant change in adjacent development patterns due to
<br />an act of government such as road development and expansion.
<br />• Expansion of a node is necessary to include existing adjacent non -conforming commercial
<br />or industrial uses where a finding is made by the Board of County Commissioners that the
<br />non -conforming uses cannot be otherwise eliminated.
<br />• Expansion of a node is necessary to facilitate a swap of land use designations involving more
<br />than one node where all involved nodes impact the same public facilities and the swap will
<br />not increase the overall land use density or intensity depicted on the Future Land Use Map.
<br />The total area added to any expanding node or nodes shall be equal to or less than the total
<br />area removed from any other involved node or nodes.
<br />• Expansion of a node is necessary to correct an oversight or a mistake in the plan affecting
<br />property that meets the following criteria:
<br />o the property is residentially designated;
<br />o the property was given a residential designation as a result of an oversight or a
<br />mistake;
<br />o the property is unsuitable for residential use;
<br />o the property is adjacent to a node; and
<br />o the property is no more than 10 acres in size.
<br />PDlicy.1M: Commercial/industrial nodes shall not be created or expanded to within 1 % miles of
<br />an existing commercial/industrial node. This policy shall apply only to commercial/ industrial nodes
<br />that conformed to the 1 %s mile requirement on December 31, 1997. This policy shall not apply to
<br />neighborhood commercial nodes.

<br />Policy 133-. The county shall encourage the school board to locate schools near urban residential
<br />areas. The county will do this by allowing schools within all residential zoning districts; by
<br />coordinating with the school board to establish a process for preliminary county review of school
<br />sites before the school board acquires or leases property for a new school; and by limiting school
<br />sites within agriculturally designated areas to mixed use projects, traditional neighborhood design
<br />projects, and sites that are contiguous to the urban service area boundary.
<br />Policy 1.40: To the extent feasible, the county shall collocate public facilities, such as parks,
<br />libraries, and community centers, with schools
