Where special flood hazard areas and <br /> wetlands exist, protection shall be provided through proper site design <br /> and construction practices in accordance with County, State and Federal <br /> requirements. <br /> ■ Flora and Fauna: Located away from sites that would, if developed, <br /> create a threat to unique or endangered species as identified by the <br /> state or federal government. <br /> ■ Soil Conditions: Located in areas where general soil conditions are <br /> suitable for on-site sewage disposal systems. <br /> ■ Public Services/Utilities: Located in areas that will not require urban- <br /> _ Rural Community type services. <br /> e° Activity Node ■ Transportation System: Focused on the intersection of arterial <br /> and/or collector highways and extending 0.5miles beyond such <br /> intersections. <br /> • Energy Use: No evaluation. <br /> • Existing Land Use Placement: Location characterized by a cross-road <br /> that serves as a focal area for the surrounding rural and farm <br /> population and contains three or more commercial or institutional land <br /> uses. <br /> ■ Agriculture and Forestry: Located at sites within rural areas that <br /> would not unreasonably intrude upon the existing landscape character. <br /> ■ Population Density: Located in areas which would serve the <br /> surrounding low-density rural and agricultural population, generally <br /> 1,000-5,000 persons. <br /> ■ Historic and Cultural: Located away from areas where development <br /> would have a detrimental impact on state or federally acknowledged <br /> historic-cultural sites or County identified Public Interest Areas. <br /> oraytW,Coanty C&wLprehe,�&?slaw Page G7-8 <br />
