The following analysis outlines elements of the <br /> Comprehensive Plan which staff identified as applicable and relevant to the consideration of this <br /> request. <br /> Chapter 2 — Planning Principles <br /> 1. Efficient and Fiscally Responsible Provision of Public Facilities and Services: Orange <br /> County's public facilities and services should be delivered in a manner that efficiently uses <br /> existing capacity. Expansions of facilities and services should be made only after careful <br /> consideration of the costs and benefits of expansion. <br /> Staff Comment: Not applicable. <br /> 2. Sustainable Growth and Development: Growth and development within the county should <br /> occur in a pattern, location, and density that is sustainable over the long-term. <br /> Staff Comment: The proposed project was approved as a special use within the RB <br /> zoning district in 2015. The project shall comply with the UDO standards and meet the <br /> standards of evaluation as reviewed by the Board of Adjustment. The existing land use <br /> currently operates at this site with very minimal impacts to the surrounding area. <br /> Proposed revisions to the previously approved master plan will remain limited to the <br /> property, generating low volumes of traffic, and not negatively impacting surrounding <br /> properties. <br /> 15 <br />
