Case Notes
− +Staff Recommendation
RECOMMEND that County Commission APPROVE EC (Employment Center) zoning. (Applicant requested I.)The requested I (Industrial) zoning district may not be considered within an area designated as Rural Area on the Growth Policy Plan. The recommended alternative EC zoning district is intended to encourage development of business parks and other employment centers. This isolated area is already developed with numerous light industrial businesses. The proposed new development can be accommodated in the EC zone with approval of a similar use determination. The EC zone is the only zone available for use within the Rural Area of the Growth Policy Plan that could possibly accommodate the applicant's proposed uses.
