OPTIONS TO SOFTEN THE SOUTHERN QUADRANTF OF I - 40 / OLD NC 86 <br /> 1 . Option One - Designation of the southern area as <br /> " secondary " would restrict the uses to residential and <br /> office uses . The concept of secondary is used in the 2 <br /> existing nodes as a buffer between residential and more <br /> I <br /> ntense uses . <br /> 2 . Option Two - Determine a service boundary that <br /> prevents water and sewer provision south of I - 40 . <br /> Alternative systems would still allow a broad range of <br /> uses but at a significantly lower intensity . <br /> 3 . Option Three - Designate the area as a " transitional " <br /> or other term EDD and restrict the permitted uses by <br /> eliminating more intense uses such as retail from the <br /> permitted use table . This is the same concept as Option <br /> 1 , but tailored for the unique nature of this node . <br /> 4 . Option Four - Adjust the site volume ratio to require <br /> greater vegetation in the southern area . For instance , <br /> require all uses to have 50 % higher vegetation south of <br /> the interstate . <br />
