172 Changing conditions in the area make the proposed amendment reasonably necessary to promote public health, safety, and general welfare. LOCATION The 64.25 acres of property requested for rezoning is located west of Old NC 86 and south of Oakdale Drive between 1-85 and proposed 1-40. Currently, the Town of Hillsborough municipal boundary is approximately 3,600 linear feet north of the project, terminating at 1-85. Adjacent property to the north' is either undeveloped or single: family lots with frontage on Oakdale Drive. The tract is bounded on the south by undeveloped property with frontage on Old NC 86 or residual pieces of property resulting'from the acquisition of right-of-way for 1-40. Property to the 'east and west is undeveloped or contains scattered single-family homes. The close proximity of both 1-85 and the new 1-40 interchange on Old NC 86 offers convenient and fast transportation to employment centers and service areas. The commercial area north le 1-85 on Old NC 86 presently offers most retail ser- vices that residents of this expanded subdivision can use. Future plans indicate that the subdivision is within a two mile radius of a commercial-industrial node on NC 86 as designated by the Land Use Plan. TRAFFIC CONSIDERATIONS • The site' has 290 feet of- frontage on Old NC 86 (Phase One Cornwallis Hills) via dll Lafayette Drive. Lafayette Drive is strip paved to a width of 20 feet.. Old NC 86 10' is currently strip paved to a width of 22 feet. As a. part of Phase One of Corn- wallis Hills, an additional 15 feet of public right-of-way was dedicated along the sire frontage on Old, NC 86. If the N.C. Department of Transportation determines that a left turn lane is necessary to- handle additional traffic generated by the subdivision, the applicant will make these improvements. In addition to Old NC 86 access, the proposed development has 260 feet of frontage on Oakdale Drive. This roadway is strip paved to a width of 20 feet. Kelley Road, a previously dedicated 60-foot right-of-way, will be improved to provide a second means of access into the site. This road will be 20 feet in width and strip paved, also. Traffic circulation within the project will consist of public streets. The pro- posed Lafayette Street Extension and Kelley Road realignment will serve as addi- tional collector streets for the area. As such, these will be public right-of- way dedications of 70 feet in width. Al]. other streets will contain 50 feet of publicly dedicated right-of-ways. The entire project will have 20-fqot wide, strip paved streets built to NCDOT standards.
