~~i~ 3 specify development goals and objectives and to formulate alternative development plans for the area. These alternative develcpment plans vrere presented for public comment toward the development of the proposed area plan presented here to public hearing. The study area is largely undeveloped and characterized by strip single family residential development along Old ?~C 86 and Davis Road. Two large tracts, located west of NC 86, I-40 v;hich received use-value taxation (one agricultural, one forested tract) also are located within the study area. Access to the area is primarily by Old IJC 86 which traverses the area in a north-south direction; proposed I-Q0, which will cross the area in a southeast northwest direction; and Davis Road which provides local access and is located west of Old t?C 86 ana south of I-40. Within the total study area there are very fev~ constraints because of soils, topography .and hydrology with the exception that care needs to be taken with development along Cates Creek which flows into the Eno, located in the northwest section of the study area. Drainage patterns in the area are north-central in orientation. A major pocver line easement crosses the entire length of the study area approximately even with the township boundary. The adopted Land Use Plan designated the areas within the study boundaries as Ten Year Transitior_, Rural Residential and Agricultural Residential. The Ten Year Transition Area is designated for immediate and near future residential development at urban densities with urban services. The area associated with the Cornwallis Hills Subdivison and the area immediately south of Cates Creel: is so designated. This plan category corresponds with zoning district from low to high density residential. The remaining area is designated Rural and Agricultural Residential and is appropriate for low-density residential and agricultural development. i;o provision was made in the adopted land use plan for the impact of I-40 construction on local development patterns as the Caunty was in litigation with DOT on that matter. During the development of the study area land use plan. a number of goals and objectives v~ere identified and addressed and local actions recommended. These items are referenced in the area plan narrative. Given these goals, objectives and recommended actions and based on the local development data collected, the following Land Use Plan is proposed for the area: 1. Extend the Ten Year Transition area south of Cates Creek to include the area south toward I-~10 to reflect expected development pressures associated with the presence of I-~0 and the interchange and to reflect viable service areas. 2. Extend the Rural Residentail area to include the property along the west side of NC 86 south of I--a0 to reflect increased single-family development pressures and the absence of farm land in this area. 3. Designate a Commercial/Industrial transition activity node of approximately 9 acres at the interstate interchange both to the north and the southwest to. respond to the locational advantages and the possibility of the future extension of water ana sewer in this area. Commissioner ti•?alker was excused at 12:05 a.m. Commissioner Marshall inquired of Smith what the intent of the Commercial/Industrial node is. Smith responded by reading the definition from the LGne Use Plan: "Land focused on designated toad intersections
