SECTOR PLAN AMENDMENT REQUIREMENTS FROM GENERAL PLAN (May meet one of these):

CHANGES OF CONDITIONS WARRANTING AN AMENDMENT OF THE LAND USE PLAN:
1. This property's location marks a transition from office and commercial uses to the west and northwest and residential land uses to the east and southeast. There has been a significant increase in development of these land use types in both areas over the past twenty years.
2. The requested O (Office) and LDR (Low Density Residential) land use classifications already exist on the property, but will shift in a way that generally aligns with adjacent and surrounding development conditions. This shift is reflected in the Exhibit A maps.

INTRODUCTION OF SIGNIFICANT NEW ROADS OR UTILITIES THAT WERE NOT ANTICIPATED IN THE PLAN AND MAKE DEVELOPMENT MORE FEASIBLE:
1. The Southwest County Sector Plan was adopted in 2016, before a roadway reconfiguration and traffic signal were installed at the intersection of Ebenezer Road and Gleason Drive in 2018. This safety improvement supports consideration of more residential and office development a quarter-mile to the north on the subject property.
2. This is an urbanized area with ample utility infrastructure for development on the subject property.

AN OBVIOUS OR SIGNIFICANT ERROR OR OMISSION IN THE PLAN:
1. The current and proposed locations of the O and LDR land use classifications are not the result of an error or omission in the Southwest County Sector Plan.

TRENDS IN DEVELOPMENT, POPULATION OR TRAFFIC THAT WARRANT RECONSIDERATION OF THE ORIGINAL PLAN PROPOSAL:
1. The modest relocation of the O land use along the north section of the parcel and LDR along the south and rear relates to where these land uses are developing in the surrounding area.
