which have a demonstrated record of not generating pollutants, because of the <br /> character of the industrial process or the size of the operation, which are known <br /> to degrade or harm water quality. Those uses which do meet this initial <br /> criteria should be designed and built in ways to minimize any other potential <br /> negative impacts on the quality of water draining from the Eno River watershed. <br /> Commercial Transition Activity Nodes. <br /> Location: Interstate 85 and Mt Willing Road (SR 1120) (CK-2) <br /> Ce./W• <br /> Analysis and Evaluation: This node is located at the intersection of an <br /> Interstate and a collector highway. There are no environmental constraints <br /> caused by the presence of environmentally sensitive areas. However, this node <br /> is located in the Eno River watershed, which has been classified as Reservoir <br /> Protection, Therefore, commercial development should be limited to those <br /> types which have a demonstrated record of not generating pollutants which are <br /> known to harm water quality. Those uses which do meet this initial criteria <br /> should be designed and built in ways to minimize an,yothernegative impacts on <br /> the quality of water draining from this watershed, This node is presently <br /> served by a central water supply system. Existing land uses include several <br /> small commercial operations, some of which are vacant and unused. The layout <br /> of this intersection will also be effected by the widening of 1-85 from 4 to '6 <br /> lanes. As the Efland area develops this node will become more attractive for <br /> commercial uses. <br /> Since there are presently several commercial uses, the need for additional <br /> commercial uses will be minimal . The emphasis should be on the continual <br /> utilization and, if necessary, rehabilitation of these existing buildings , rather <br /> than constructing new ones. <br />
