5] <br />The applicants maintain that the intent and <br />purpose of the Comprehensive Plan would be <br />furthered by the proposed amendment. As <br />evidence, the applicants cite the existence of <br />changed conditions in the area, the County's <br />potential tax revenues from a developed site, <br />the generation of needed employment <br />opportunities in central Orange, the <br />appropriateness of certain land uses along <br />Interstate 40, and the site's location at a <br />strategic intersection from both a local and <br />regional perspective as rationale for <br />consistency with the Comprehensive Plan. <br />COMPARISON WITH LOCATION STANDARDS <br />In an analysis of a Comprehensive Plan amendment, the <br />requested designation is evaluated for compatibility with the <br />applicable Locational Criteria in Section 3.4 of the Land Use <br />Element of the Comprehensive Plan. In the section below, <br />COMPLIES means that the site is compatible with the <br />locational criterion. DOES NOT COMPLY means that it is not. <br />Additional explanation is provided where the response is not <br />clear -cut. <br />COMMERCIAL TRANSITION ACTIVITY NODE <br />SLOPE. (Located on land with less than 15% slope) <br />COMPLIES. The applicant cites gently rolling land on this <br />property with slope of 2 to 7 percent. Topographic mapping of <br />the area confirms that the site is generally of moderate <br />slope (2 -10 percent), providing a relatively - suitable <br />environment for development. Located downstream and south of <br />the site, in northern Chapel Hill Township, a Resource <br />Protection Area with relatively steep slopes exists along <br />Stony Creek. <br />HYDROLOGY. (Located outside designated 100 -year flood prone <br />area as defined by Corps of Engineers) <br />COMPLIES. The site is near a ridge and contains a portion of <br />the headwaters of Stony Creek. It is located well outside any <br />flood -prone areas. The property drains largely to the-south <br />and east, into the Stony Creek Basin. <br />FLORA AND FAUNA. (Located away from sites that would, if <br />developed, create a threat to unique or endangered species as <br />identified by the State or Federal government) <br />COMPLIES. This site does not contain any such sites. In <br />addition, it is not located in close proximity to any listed <br />4 <br />
