383 Draft potential since it's happening everywhere else, that there are limited areas that are prime, and interest from the non-residential development sector that they're looking for. And they've looked at interchanges. They look at visibility on the interstate and interchange and infrastructure. It wasn't until we got that quarter sales tax, part of it going to schools, part of it going to promote economic development, that we start putting infrastructure out there, so what prompts this whole process is there's been a lot of work done from Efland back to Mebane with infrastructure, we have something on the edge of Durham that's underway, and this has been the last area.And what has slowed us down a little bit was not wanting to put a million dollars of infrastructure in and have it turn to residential. Residential now is in EDH3 is by right. There's been some interest in the development community to do something out there. They may use EDH3 or 4 or 5, or they may come in with a master plan development which would be an additional zoning and they might have to go through this process again. But at least this will be a guide of what can be done out there.And if they go through that conditional zoning district process there's public meetings, what uses exactly go out there, so the 41 pages that Perdita listed will be there.
