A condition was recommended limiting the percentage of retail operation(s) allowed in District 2 to address Town of Hillsborough concerns over potential impacts of retail development within Settlers Point on existing re- development efforts within the Town. STAFF COMMENT: The submitted project narrative and maps indicate there will be approximately 261,800 sq.ft. of ‘total floor area’ within District 2 with a limit of 58,800 sq.ft. of floor area supporting retail operation(s). This represents an approximately 22% limit on the total allowable floor area that can be used to support retail operation(s). The applicant has suggested a condition be imposed on the project reading as follows: ‘Retail – limited to 30% of the allowable floor area of the District (i.e. District 2) not to exceed 78,540 sq.ft. of total cumulative floor area’. Although anticipated, retail land uses are not identified within the application submittal as being ‘regional’ or ‘local’ in nature. Similarly located interstate interchange projects of this type would predominately serve interstate travelers and internal/surrounding employment uses both internal and external to the project. d. A BOCC member suggested a condition on the potential to limit the hours of operations for non-residential land uses locating within the project. STAFF COMMENT: No definitive suggestion/direction was provided. The applicant did indicate this would be very problematic with respect to the marketing of the property. e.

There was a general concern there was insufficient information provided within the application supporting identified findings. 17
