Comprehensive Plan Designation: Industrial
Compliance with Comprehensive Plan: Staff fords that the proposed use currently does not explicitly
meet the purpose and intent of the industrial designation definition as stated within the Comprehensive
Plan. However, the applicant is in the process of requesting an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan
Future Land Use Map to change the industrial designation on the subject property to commercial (CPA-
07-004). A rezone (RZ-07-004) is requested concurrently, with the CPA to change the zoning of the

proposed use of the property will explicitly comply with the purpose and intent of the amended
Comprehensive Plan.
Compliance with UDC: Yes; the proposed use requires CUP approval as a public/quasi-public use in the
I-L zone.

DA; A Preliminary/Final Plat that contained the subject two lots was approved in 2003 as Jabil
