Encourage compact and higher density development in areas served by water and
sewer. (See also Land Use Objective LU-1.1 and Water and Wastewater Objective
WW-5.)
Objective ED-2.5:
Identify lands suitable to accommodate the expansion and growth of commercial
and industrial uses in the County.
Objective ED-2.7:
Select industrial sites in Economic Development Areas based on p resent and
planned supporting systems, such as public water and sewer, access to adequate
highway, rail, or public transportation infrastructures, and minimize detrimental
environmental or negative social outcomes. (See also Water and Wastewater
Objective WW-15.)
Land Use Goal 1: Fiscally and environmentally responsible, sustainable growth,
consistent with the provision of adequate services and facilities and a high quality
of life.
Objective LU-1.1:
Coordinate the location of higher intensity 1 high density residential and non-
residential development with existing or planned locations of public transportation,
commercial and community services, and adequate supporting infrastructure (i.e.,
water and sewer, high-speed Internet access, streets, and sidewalks), while
avoiding areas with protected natural and cultural resources. This could be
achieved by increasing allowable densities and creating new mixed-use zoning
districts where adequate public services are available. (See also Economic
Development Objectives ED-2.1, ED-2.3, ED-2.10, and Water and Wastewater
Objective WW-2.)
Land Use Goal 4: Land development regulations, guidelines, techniques and/or
incentives that promote the integrated achievement of all Comprehensive Plan
goals.
c. The amendment is reasonable and in the public interest because it:
I. Assists Orange County in promoting the Hillsborough EDD to economic
development prospects.
a. Adjacent and nearby land uses continue to be protected
