intent of this policy is to regulate increases in the amount of C/I designated land. Since the proposed <br />amendment does not increase in the amount of C/I designated land in the subject node, Future Land <br />Use Element Policy 1.22's 70% developed standard does not apply to this amendment. <br />Economic Development Element Policy 1.8 <br />Economic Development Element Policy 1.8 states that the county shall evaluate the size and location <br />of nodes to ensure they can properly provide for growth. Since the proposed amendment <br />reconfigures the subject node to better provide for growth, the proposed amendment implements <br />Economic Development Element Policy 1.8. <br />Consistency Summary <br />As part of the staff analysis, all policies in the comprehensive plan were considered. Based upon <br />this analysis, staff determined that the proposed land use designation amendment and rezoning is <br />consistent with the comprehensive plan. <br />The subject properties are disturbed sites. As such, they contain no wetlands, or environmentally <br />important or environmentally sensitive habitat. Therefore, development of the subject properties <br />under the proposed land use designations and zoning districts would not be anticipated to adversely <br />impact any significant environmental resources. <br />The proposed amendment reconfigures a commercial/industrial node to increase land use efficiency <br />and facilitate economic development. No increase in the amount of C/I designated land or land use <br />density/intensity is proposed. The subject request is consistent with the comprehensive plan, <br />compatible with all surrounding land uses, and will cause no adverse impacts on the environment <br />or the provision of public services. For these reasons, staff supports the request. <br />Based on the analysis, staff and the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend that the Board <br />of County Commissioners approve the proposed amendment and rezoning by adopting the attached <br />ordinances. <br />JULY 119 2000 <br />-70- <br />Ilk i E i:* <br />
