Amend Section 4 . 1 - Overview of Implementation Strategies by adding <br /> an "Economic Development Activity Node" row to the "Land Use <br /> Element Categories-Zoning District Matrix" . The subsection, "Zoning <br /> Ordinance" , would also be amended (as follows) to add a description <br /> of the "Economic Development Activity Node" category. <br /> ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITY NODE: Identifies areas in <br /> Transition areas of the County which have been specifically <br /> targeted for economic development activity consisting of light <br /> industrial, distribution, flex space, office, and service/retail <br /> uses. Such areas are located adjacent to interstate and major <br /> arterial highways, and subject to special design criteria and <br /> performance standards.

In determining the appropriate <br /> pattern of land use for the County an assumption is <br /> implicitly made regarding the type of growth favored and the <br /> response of the economy to such growth. Conscious efforts to <br /> broaden and diversify the economic base of the area and <br /> promote certain forms of economic development should <br /> complement physical planning considerations affecting land <br /> use patterns, particularly as they impact on the <br /> maximization of opportunities for County residents for <br /> housing and work, and the protection of the environment.
