Smith commented on.the potential impacts, imposed by the request: (1) mIt.el" ard Sewer Services - the City of Durham have indicated they Would serve the site with public water and sewer services either in place or to be extended to the site. (2) Traf 'ic'_xmpact -- the property is located at the intersection of US 70 and NC 751 . I. has a total of 77 feet of road frontage; 64.3 feet abuts. thesight distancetriangle for NC 751 and the remainder of that abuts US 70. A strip of propertyl,owned by Duke University separates this parcel from NC 751 . The closeness of this tract to the intersection and the small amount of road frontage limits access points and could cause traffic congestion at this intersection. The latest traffic count information dated 1982 indicates a count- of 5800 trips per day on US 70 at the Durham County Line and 4600 trips per day on NC 751. Based on possible uses at this particular site, traffic generation could be as high as 1040 trips per day for a fast food restaurant and as low as 129Itrips per day for an office use, (3) Police-, IFire and Rescue Services the Eno Volunteer Fire Department and Orange County 'Rescue Squad have indicated their willingness to serve this lot with no problems and the Sheriff's office indicated that this rezoning did not need law enforcement approval. (4) ?e,atiol rip between__Land Usg _PJ.an and Zoning 0rdi-nance -- The Commercial Transition acitivity node designation corresponds with the full range of commercial zoning districts from LC-1 through GC4. The Zoning Ordinance establishes the maximum amount of Sand zoned Community Commercial.-- III at any activity node at 29 acres, except in rural , rron--transition areas where the maximum i.s 15 acres. There is no acreage zoned CC-3 at this activity node. (5) Permitted Uses -- the permitted uses for CC-3 are the full range of services including commercial , office and service uses including limited automotive, convenience, durable goods, and other similar uses. Rezoning of the site would allow for development of the property for those uses permitted by right in the district. Development of the site must comply with applicable requirements of the Land Use Intensity system, landscaping and sc'reening, parking and signage. Smith stated that in reviewing the application and the criteria for rev.onirg, it is the Staffs' opinion that the potential traffic impacts in this part o,lar locatioln suggests that the application for a general rezoning • request be denied.)
