■ Strive for diversification of the economy by strengthening existing industries and <br /> attracting new endeavors. <br /> ■ Allocate appropriate requested zoning in accordance with the existing or projected <br /> needs of the neighborhood, community, region, and County. <br /> ■ Zoning requests shall be reviewed with respect to General Plan designation, <br /> district goals, regional plans, State Land Use District, compatibility with adjacent <br /> zoned uses, availability ofpublic services and utilities, access, and public need. <br /> The requested change of zone conforms to the General Plan Land Use Pattern <br /> Allocation Guide(LUPAG)Map. The Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide(LUPAG)Map <br /> component of the General Plan is a representation of the document's goals and policies to <br /> guide the coordinated growth and development of the County. It reflects a graphic <br /> depiction of the physical relationship among the various land uses. The LUPAG Map <br /> establishes the basic urban and non-urban form for areas within the County. <br /> The proposed Limited-Industrial (ML-20) zoning conforms to the LUPAG Map <br /> that designates the subject property (and surrounding area) as Industrial, which includes <br /> uses such as manufacturing and processing, wholesaling, large storage and transportation <br /> facilities, light industrial and industrial-commercial activities. Based on the preceding, the <br /> proposed ML-20 zoning would support businesses and industrial uses which are generally <br /> in support of but not necessarily compatible with those permitted activities and uses in <br /> other commercial districts. Given the industrial nature of development adjacent to the <br /> project parcel,the proposed request would be consistent with the LUPAG designation, and <br /> the land use goals for this area. <br /> The proposed request will result in a more appropriate land use pattern that <br /> will further the public necessity and convenience and the general welfare. When <br /> considering any request to change the zoning district of a property, the Director shall <br /> consider the purpose of the existing and proposed zoning district and the purpose of the <br /> Zoning Code and shall recommend a change in zoning only where it would result in a more <br /> appropriate land use pattern that will further the public necessity and convenience and the <br /> general welfare. <br /> -3- <br />
