2 <br /> Changes were also proposed to the Land Use Element <br /> Categories-Zoning District Matrix for the same reasons <br /> cited above. The matrix is designed to assist decision <br /> makers in comprehending the relationship between the <br /> Land Use Element and the Zoning Ordinance. The Land Use <br /> Element categories, as shown on the Land Use Element <br /> Map, serve as the official long range planning guide <br /> for the type, density, and form of land use development <br /> in the County. The Land Use Element Map determines the <br /> zoning districts that may be applied to a specific site <br /> within each designated Element area. In the case of <br /> activity nodes, the Land Use Element seeks to <br /> • concentrate commercial and industrial development <br /> within limited areas. The applied zoning districts <br /> reflect the level of intensity of these activities <br /> permitted in a given node or area. <br /> • As indicated above, the public hearing on this item was <br /> held on February 27, 1989. No comments were received <br /> regarding the proposal. <br /> At its April 11, 1989 meeting, the Planning Board <br /> recommended approval of the proposed amendment. <br /> RECOMMENDATION: The Administration recommends approval of the proposed <br /> amendment per the Planning Board recommendation. <br />
