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 /> <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 /> <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 /> <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 /> <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 /> <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.
