All permitted uses listed on the GDP are consistent with the proposed zoning and the Plan designation. 3.The GDP is consistent with the intent of the Comprehensive Plan in implementing a land use pattern thatwill result in an overall reduction of industrial zoned land, and a corresponding increase in commercial office land supply. 4.In addition to the Framework Plan Map, the GDP is consistent with principles and policies of the Comprehensive Plan. a.Land Use: The GDP is consistent with the following principles of policy LU- 4.4: The GDP integrates design andfunction with respect to circulation, view corridors, storm water management, and phased development of the building infrastructure.
