Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Element boundary line may be extended up to 500 feet to incorporate the entire split lot, parcel or tract provided that no more than five additional acres are added to the node. An extension of a node boundary line to include within the node an entire lot, parcel or tract that would otherwise be precluded from development if the boundary line were not extended shall be approved by the Board of County Commissioners upon recommendation by the Planning and Zoning Commission in conjunction with a rezoning of the affected property. To prevent repetitive extension of the boundary line, a node boundary line may be extended one time only and shall be permanently fixed and final unless changed by an approved plan amendment. C. ieference in this policy to the terms "parcel, lot or tract" shall not include any alterations to the property's tax parcel legal description that are made after February 13 , 1990.

Pty, 122 : 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: o 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 o 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.
