BACKGROUND: A recommendation of the Economic Development District Task Force is the creation of a new Economic Development Activity Node in the vicinity of I-85/NC 86 and Old NC 10 as a component of the overall Hillsborough Area Economic Development Activity Node. Comprehensive Plan amendment CP-2-01 is in response to the Task Force recommendation. CP-2-D1 involves the creation of a 60 acre Economic Development Activity Node composed of three separate areas. Area 3a (41.51 acres) is focused on the south side of the I-85/NC 86 interchange and along Old NC 10; area 3b (5.34 acres) is located in the northeast quadrant of the interchange; and area 3c (12.95 acres) is located on the north side of Old NC 10 east of area 3a. Because of their physical separation, varying site features, and different land use categories under the current plan, the areas are addressed separately in the staff analysis. FINANCIAL IMPACT: None at this time. RECOMMENDATION(S): Plannin Staff Recommendation: Approval of the proposed amendment for expansion of the Hillsborough Area EDD by adding Areas 3a, 3b, and 3c. Administration Recommendation: Refer the proposed plan amendment to the Planning Board for a recommendation to be returned to the Board of County Commissioners no sooner than April 17, 2001. h: \camplan\CP-2-01 abstract. dot\2-12-01 \~b ~~~ Areas Proposed for Amendrr~nts ~~, ~, ,. ~~~, ~, ,, ~, ~~. ~. i~as 1~ ~. ~' .~ ~Y .. ~ .l ~ r.

The Land Use Element currently designates this area as aCommercial-Industrial Activity Node. Three areas of varying size (areas 3a, 3b, and 3c) are included in CP-2-01. Area 3a lies mostly in the southeast quadrant of the I-85/NC 86 interchange and along Old NC 10 and is the largest area at 41.51 acres. Area 3b is in the northeast quadrant of I-85/NC 86 and is the smallest area at 5.34 acres. Area 3c contains 12.95 acres and is located on the north side of Old NC 10 and immediately east of area 3a. Because of their physical separation, varying site features, and different land use categories under the current plan, the areas will be addressed separately in the following analysis. -AREA 3a , A. GENERAL DESCRIPTION Area 3a is located in Hillsborough Township in the vicinity of the I-85/NC $6 interchange and NC 86/Old NC 10 intersection. The area contains 41.51 acres and is composed of 12 parcels identified as follows: Hillsborough Township, Tax Map 45, Lots $, 8a, 9, 10, 10A, 10B, 10C, 11A, 19A, 19C, 29 and 32. Area 3a is irregular in shape and bounded to the north by I-85. With the exception of three parcels on the west side of NC 86, the remainder of the area lies to the east of NC 86 and along both sides of Old NC 10. The Norfolk and Southern Railroad right-of- way forms the southern boundary of the area. All of the lots except far 10B and 29 have existing structures and a variety of uses. Lots 8, 8A, 9, 10, 10A, and 10C are clustered around the NC 86/Old NC 10 intersection and have single-family residential uses. Lot 11A, the largest at 37.97 acres, is the site of the truck stop, restaurant, store, and various storage and outbuildings. Lot 32 contains a concrete plant and parking area for trucks. Immediately to the west of it are lots 19A and 19C which have storage buildings and a garage. The area is currently classified as Commercial-Industrial Activity Node and Ten- Year Transition. This amendment would place the area in Economic Development Activity Node. Ten-Year Transition will be retained since being in a transition area is a requirement for designation of an Economic Development Activity Node. The requested category is described in the Land Use Element as follows: h:\comnlan\eddnlanamendmentCP-2-01.doc\2-1-0 l \ah ~~~ Economic Develo ment Activi Node: Land in Transition areas of the County which has been specifically targeted for economic development activity consisting of light industrial, distribution, office, service/retail uses, and flex space (typically one-story buildings designed, constructed, and marketed as suitable for use as offices but able to accommodate other uses; e.g., warehouse, showroom, manufacturing assembly or similar operations). Such areas are located adjacent to interstate and major arterial highways, and subject to special design criteria and performance standards. The proposed designation of Economic Development Activity Node would allow rezoning of the property to the Economic Development District category. B. APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS Application requirements for an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan are contained in Articles 2 and 20 of the Zoning Ordinance. Listed below are the applicable requirements with staff comments shown in bold. Amendment Rationale Article 2.2.14 states the reasons for which the Comprehensive Plan may be amended: a. Because of changed or changing conditions in a particular area of the County. Change has occurred, and continues to occur, in areas southeast of Hillsborough to both the north and south of I-85. A recent example of residential development is the Beckett's Ridge subdivision; non- residential development includes Cornerstone Park and the ongoing development there; and a major commercial project recently considered in the area is Hampton Pointe. b. To correct an error or omission in the Comprehensive Plan. No error is alleged. c. In response to a change in policies, objectives, principles or standards governing the physical development of the County. The work of the Economic Development District Task Force is resulting in a change to all of the criteria listed. Qualification of Amendment as Principal or SecondarX Article 2.2.14.2 differentiates between "principal" and "secondary" amendments to the Plan. This amendment is a principal amendment under Section 2.2.14.2.b in that it h:\complan\eddplanamendmentCP-2-O1.dac\2-1-01\gb 2 ,~ involves "The creation of new activity nodes or additions to existing activity nodes which exceed ten (10) acres in land area." The proposed amendment is to create a new Economic Development Activity Node 59.$0 acres in size. Additional Information Article 20.3.2 requires the submission of the following additional information: a. "A fully-dimensioned map at a scale of not less than one hundred (100) feet to the inch showing the land which would be covered by the proposed Comprehensive Plan amendment, and a legal description of the land." Submitted. b. "The manner in which the proposed amendment will carry out the intent/purpose of the Comprehensive Plan." The Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan is premised on two basic strategies: activity nodes and infill development. The following text concerning these strategies is from Section 3.2 (Basic Concepts) of the Plan. The proposed amendments are supportive of these strategies. The activity node. strategy serves to cluster commercial and industrial development at major intersections throughout the County in locations appropriate for serving the needs of the local residents. The activity nodes are of various sizes and types to accommodate specified levels of intensity of commercial and industrial activities. As designated activity nodes become "built out'; new activity nodes maybe evaluated and located using the locafional criteria for the appropriate land use category or type of activity node. The primary objective to be achieved through the use of the activity node strategy is the efficient and compact use of the land. The infill development strategy is premised on the desirability of encouraging development to occur first within the corporate limits of the Towns and then, when appropriate, within those areas surrounding the Towns which are in transition from rural to urban development patterns. The achievement of a higher rate of infill development than experienced in the past requires a combination of incentives and disincentives to development activity which include, but are not limited to, allowing higher densities and intensity of land uses wifhin urban areas and urbanizing areas and allowing only low intensity uses outside these areas; streamlining development review processes for higher intensity uses; requiring development standards in transition areas similar to those in urban areas; and phased extension of urban services. h:\comnlan\eddnlanamendmPntCP-'7._fll rinr-\~_1_f)1\ah X34 Proposed plan amendments are also evaluated for conformity with Goals and Policies in the Land Use Element. The proposed amendments are supportive of the following goals and policies: GOAL FIVE: The management of growth so that it is directed fo areas where growth is desirable and can be accommodated. Policy 5.1 Utilize the following locational criteria to designate the most appropriate location for the various Land Use Plan Categories: natural environment constraints (land slope, hydrology, flora and fauna, soil conditions); availability of public services and utilities; transportation system access and capacity; impact on energy resources; existing land uses; presence of productive agricultural or forested land; appropriate population densities; and the presence of historic or cultural features. Polite Guide growfh to achieve a maximum amount of intill development in the urbanizing areas of the County while maintaining the integrity of the existing and future open space and recreational system. The purpose of in~ll will be to minimize sprawl development and promote a more compact urban form. Secondary purposes will be to reduce transportation energy costs in addition to reducing public service costs. Policy 5.11 Designate activity nodes of various types and functions at the intersections of major arterials and/or collectors in order to accommodate different intensity levels of commercial and industrial development. Policy ._5.12 Utilize activity nodes to promote clustered development and to discourage strip development. Policy 5.13 Identify activity nodes as the only places appropriate for non-farm related commercial and industrial development. GOAL S1X.' The promotion of economic development which emphasizes employment meeting local needs while preserving the character of communities and protecting the natural environment. Policy 6.1 Provide for a sufficient amount of suitable land to accommodate the expansion and growth of commercial and industrial uses in the County. Polite Select industrial sites in the Transition Areas on the basis of the capacity of supporting systems, such as water .and sewer lines and good highway or rail access, and the absence of detrimental environmental or social impacts. h:\c omplan\e ddplanamendmentCl'-2-01. doc\2-1-01 \gb ~~ Policy 6.11 The following Economic Development (Transition) Activity Nodes have been designated: I-40/Old NC 86 (HB-5); I-85/Buckhom (CK-5); and I- 85/US7p (ENO-2).
