VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br />C. BUCKHORN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT EXPANSION <br />Planner Mary Willis summarized the information in the agenda. <br />A motion was made by Commissioner Willhoit, seconded by Commissioner Halkiotis to <br />approve the expansion of the Buckhorn Road Economic Development District per the Planning Board's <br />recommendation described in 1), 2) and 3 stated below which excludes the 2.6 acre parcel containing the <br />existing service station at the southeast corner of Buckhorn Road and 1-85. The Administration recommends <br />that the decision with regard to that parcel be tabled in order to further consider the impact of the Economic <br />Development District on the existing service station and its proposed expansion. <br />(1) Designate the 587-acre area shown on the map as included in the agenda as Economic <br />Development District Primary Development Area, subject to the same set of permitted uses as the portion of <br />the Economic Development District on the north side of 1-85. The area of the recommended expansion is <br />bounded by Buckhorn Road to the west, West Ten Road to the south, 1-85 to the north, and the boundary of <br />the Upper Eno Critical Area to the east, excluding Clearview Subdivision and the adjacent mobile home park, <br />and the 2.6 acre parcel containing the existing service station at the southeast corner of Buckhorn Road and <br />1-85. <br />(2) Provide a 150' buffer around the perimeter of the Clearview subdivision and adjacent <br />mobile home park. (A 100' buffer is required on the remainder of the perimeter by the standard provisions of <br />the Economic Development District Design Manual.) <br />(3) Update the Economic Development District Design Manual to include reference to and <br />general discussion of the expanded area. The only proposed change to the existing design standards is the <br />inclusion of the 150-foot buffer around Clearview Subdivision and the adjacent mobile home park. <br />VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br />D.
