Staff believes this is an oversight that may have occurred in the late 1980's or 1990's when the Comprehensive Plan was changed to include a combined Cominercial- Industrial Activity Node category on the Land Use Element Map and on the matrix, but other necessary updates were not made. Staff considers this to be a "clean -up" or "housekeeping" amendment to reflect intent and interpretation which will provide clarity and conciseness to the regulations. Note that a Comprehensive Plan amendment is also proposed as a separate item to fix these inconsistencies.
