P <br /> I . <br /> this node is located on the boundary of the University Lake watershed. <br /> There would be no disruption to residential areas resulting from environ- <br /> mental development. Some problems however, would probably exist with traffic <br /> safety at this intersection if intensive commercial development did occur. <br /> The surrounding residential area that would be served by commercial uses <br /> at this node is growing in population and density. For this reasons, a <br /> Rural Commercial node at this site will be appropriate especially in the <br /> longer-term when population density is sufficient to support limited, rural <br /> commercial uses. <br /> Location: Mt. Sinai Road and NC 86 (Blackwood Station) (CHT-6) <br /> Plan Category: Rural Commercial <br /> Analysis and Evaluation: This node exists at the intersection of two <br /> collectors. Several commercial uses presently exist in the area. There <br /> are no environmental constraints which should restrict limited commercial <br /> development at this node. There should be no disruption to nearby residen <br /> tial areas. Because of its distance from Chapel Hill-Carrboro and because <br /> of the generally rural character of the area sewer lines should not he <br /> extended to this node. Because this node presently contains several com- <br /> mercial uses, its capacity for additional development is somewhat limited. <br /> Location: Proposed 1-40 extension and New Hope Church Road (CI-IT-7) <br /> Plan Category; Rural Commercial <br /> This node would be located at the intersection of an Interstate highway and <br /> a collector. No environmental constraints would limit small-scale commercial <br /> activity in the area. Redidential areas would not be disrupted as a result <br /> of small-scale commercial development. The scale of future development will <br /> be limited to rural densities, since sewer lines will not be extended to this are <br />
