9 <br /> types of permitted uses. <br /> 2. Analysis <br /> Some text modifications to existing standards that regulate development in the <br /> Hillsborough EDD would aid the County in promoting economic development <br /> opportunities within the EDD. Plans for County investment in water and sewer <br /> infrastructure to parcels south of Interstate 40 and in the vicinity of Old Highway 86 <br /> are underway and these UDO text amendments would focus on this geographic area. <br /> Additional analysis will be available as the amendment process proceeds. <br /> 3. Comprehensive Plan Linkage (i.e. Principles, Goals and Objectives) <br /> Objective ED-1.5: <br /> Identify barriers to development of desirable businesses and local businesses, and <br /> mitigate these barriers. <br /> Objective ED-2.1: <br /> Encourage compact and higher density development in areas served by water and <br /> sewer. (See also Land Use Objective LU-1.1 and Water and Wastewater Objective <br /> WW-5.) <br /> Objective ED-2.5: <br /> Identify lands suitable to accommodate the expansion and growth of commercial and <br /> industrial uses in the County. <br /> Objective ED-2.7: <br /> Select industrial sites in Economic Development Areas based on present and <br /> planned supporting systems, such as public water and sewer, access to adequate <br /> highway, rail, or public transportation infrastructures, and minimize detrimental <br /> environmental or negative social outcomes. (See also Water and Wastewater <br /> Objective WW-15.) <br /> Land Use Goal 1: Fiscally and environmentally responsible, sustainable growth, <br /> consistent with the provision of adequate services and facilities and a high quality of <br /> life. <br /> Objective LU-1.1: <br /> Coordinate the location of higher intensity / high density residential and non- <br /> residential development with existing or planned locations of public transportation, <br /> commercial and community services, and adequate supporting infrastructure (i.e., <br /> water and sewer, high-speed internet access, streets, and sidewalks), while avoiding <br /> areas with protected natural and cultural resources. This could be achieved by <br /> increasing allowable densities and creating new mixed-use zoning districts where <br /> adequate public services are available. (See also Economic Development <br /> Objectives ED-2.1, ED-2.3, ED-2.10, and Water and Wastewater Objective WW-2.) <br /> Land Use Goal 4: Land development regulations, guidelines, techniques and/or <br /> incentives that promote the integrated achievement of all Comprehensive Plan goals. <br /> 2 <br />
