The first item, number 7, the 2030 <br />Comprehensive Plan text amendment that deals with clarifications within the Commercial-Industrial Transition Activity Node land <br />use category. Those changes that were noted were not new but added clarity. (Reviewed Abstract). <br />Larry Wright: I would like to -make a comment. Up on the intersections of 49 and 86, Caswell County is beginning to build an <br />Economic Zone south and it starts with two very nice buildings that are "garages". They are commercial fabrication building cars <br />for VIR which is a raceway. You come back and there is a "Royal Park" is what it is called and they were awarded in late fall, a <br />huge contract with the military for uniforms. You come further south to Prospect Hill which has a health department that wilt be <br />moving and they are building a larger facility about 118 of a mile away. You come further down 86 and you see Triangle, a <br />grocery store, restaurant, petroleum service center. A little further down, there is a General Dollar. They have commercial lots <br />for sale. Then there is the Orange County line. There is nursery there and everything is vacated. I am not sure if it is AR. It <br />seems this lot is for sale. If Orange County did want to make that and think about turning that into commercial districts that <br />would be a companion to the Caswell County developments, I am not sure what; the County Commissioners would think of this <br />definition "with public water and waste water services". There is none up there. <br />Craig Benedict: We think there will be two different intensities of our industrial zones. One may be a public water sewer area <br />and we are looking at these rural activity nodes. There may be a different definition we could use for rural activity industrial <br />nodes. Staff recommends that you deliberate and proceed with the recommendations. <br />Brian Crawford: Any further comments. <br />MOTION made by Judith Wegner that we recommend the Commissioners adopt this proposal as amended. Seconded by Larry <br />Wright. <br />VorE: Unanimous <br />
