The creation of new activity nodes or <br /> additions to existing activity nodes which <br /> exceed ten ( 10) acres in land area; or <br /> This proposed amendment would create <br /> a new free-standing Commercial Transition <br /> Activity Node for the 33-acre site, along with <br /> a like designation of Ten Year Transition to <br /> implement the transition to a different <br /> classification.
