47 <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 <br /> of life. <br /> Objective LU-t1: <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 <br /> avoiding areas with protected natural and cultural resources. This could be <br /> achieved by increasing allowable densities and creating new mixed-use zoning <br /> districts where adequate public services are available. (See also Economic <br /> Development Objectives ED-2.1, ED-2.3, ED-2.10, and Water and Wastewater <br /> 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 <br /> goals. <br /> c. The amendment is reasonable and in the public interest because it: <br /> 1. Modifies existing non-residential zoning boundaries in an attempt to make <br /> existing operations more conforming to local land use regulations, <br /> 2. Eliminates non-residential zoning designations on property with no non- <br /> residential land use activity thereby bringing the property into greater <br /> compliance with the goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan. <br /> The Planning Board of Orange County hereby recommends that the Board of County <br /> Commissioners consider adoption of the proposed Zoning Atlas amendments. <br /> l <br /> Lydia N.
