PURSUANT TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, CHAPTER 3 IMPLEMENTATION, A PLAN AMENDMENT MAY BE APPROPRIATE IF THERE IS AN OBVIOUS OR SIGNIFICANT ERROR OR OMISSION IN THE PLAN, OR IF TWO OR MORE OF THE OTHER CRITERIA APPLY.

OBVIOUS OR SIGNIFICANT ERROR OR OMMISSION IN THE PLAN:
1. The subject parcels have functioned as the corporate office, lumber storage area and parking lot for Tindell's Building Supply for many years. These established commercial uses are misaligned with the Comprehensive Plan's SMR (Suburban Mixed Residential) place type, which does not permit consideration of these kinds of commercial land uses. It is also in conflict with the western parcel's existing CB (Business and Manufacturing) zoning.
2. Updating the land use classification to the CC (Corridor Commercial) place type would better align zoning and development with the long-standing use of these properties.

IF THERE ARE NO ERRORS OR OMMISSIONS, TWO OF THE FOLLOWING CRITIERIA MUST BE MET:
CHANGES OF CONDITIONS (SUCH AS SURROUNDING LAND USES, ZONING, UNCONTROLLED NATURAL FORCES/DISASTERS, ETC.):
1. In 2024, the County Commission approved a plan amendment from SMR to CC and a rezoning to CB (Business and Manufacturing) for the adjacent parcel the southeast, which is also owned by Tindell's Building Supply. This plan amendment would provide for a more cohesive area of the CC place type that better reflects existing land use on the subject property.

INTRODUCTION OF SIGNIFICANT NEW UTILITIES OR LOCAL/STATE/FEDERAL ROAD PROJECTS THAT WERE NOT ANTICIPATED IN THE PLAN AND MAKE DEVELOPMENT MORE FEASIBLE:
1. There have been no recent upgrades to infrastructure, and Freeway Heights Drive is narrow with a pavement width of approximately 18 ft in places. The recommended zoning condition that this road be expanded to 20 ft from Gordon Smith Road to the access point of 7747 Freeway Heights Drive would help mitigate potential traffic impacts of more intensive zoning.

NEW DATA REGARDING TRENDS OR PROJECTIONS, POPULATION, HOUSING CONDITIONS, OR TRAFFIC GROWTH THAT WARRANT RECONSIDERATION OF THE ORIGINAL PLAN:
1. There is no new data or reporting on this property that pertains to the requested plan amendment.

THE PROPOSED CHANGES SUPPORT THE POLICIES AND ACTIONS, GOALS, OBJECTIVES, AND CRITERIA OF THE PLAN:
1. The plan amendment is not in conflict with any policies of the Comprehensive Plan. The noted condition for approval is aligned with the Comprehensive Plan's Implementation Policy 9, to coordinate infrastructure improvements with development.
