Under <br /> the Land Use Element and Zoning Ordinance, adjustments to a node <br /> boundary may be made by the Board of Commissioners as long as the <br /> adjustments result in a node that is smaller than the 1/4-mile <br /> radius . An example of this application is the Blackwood Station <br /> "node" in the Rural Buffer, which is confined to a considerably <br /> smaller land area located at the intersection. This approach may <br /> resolve any concerns over the dispersal of non-residential uses <br /> throughout a 1/4-mile radius from the intersection. <br /> F .
