Objective ED-1.4: Achieve the objective of adding 5,000 new private sector jobs in the County and $125,000,000 in new commercial property by June 2010, with the goal of 75% of the new jobs being filled by County residents. Objective ED-1.5: Identify barriers to development of desirable businesses and local businesses, and mitigate these barriers. Objective ED-1.6: Provide outreach, recognition and/or expedited service to new and existing businesses that meet development criteria. Objective ED-1.8: Explore policies to use in attracting and encouraging development of companies and enterprises that will build and expand upon the County's economic base. 5. Economic Development Goal 2. Infrastructure that supports desired development. Objective ED-2.5: Identify lands suitable to accommodate the expansion and growth of commercial and industrial uses in the County. Objective ED-2.8: Adjust ongoing designation and zoning of Economic Development Districts to avoid the area designated as the Rural Buffer. (See also Land Use Objectives LU-3.1 and LU-3.3.). The amendments are reasonable and in the public interest because: a. The amendment will foster economic development within the Eno Economic Development District. It also encourages the balanced and sustainable growth of existing non-residential uses. The project will provide buffers and setbacks to transition between residential uses and transition to natural resource areas. b. The project will not result in traffic impacts deemed to be detrimental to existing roadways due to the proposed density. c. The proposed amendments promote public health, safety, and general welfare by furthering the goals and objectives of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. The Board of County Commissioners hereby adopts this Statement of Consistency and findings expressed herein. 2 aa Af`I44 Earl McKee, Chair Date
