The proposed project 88 encompasses approximately 180 acres in the Hillsborough Economic Development District (EDD) 89 south of Interstate 40 and west of Old Highway 86, within Hillsborough Township. 168 acres are 90 currently zoned MPD-CZ (Settler’s Point) and 12 acres are currently zoned R-1 (Rural Residential). 91 This item is scheduled for BOCC public hearing on September 15, 2020. 92 PRESENTER: Michael Harvey, Current Planning Supervisor 93 Michael Harvey reviewed the abstract and proposed changes to the Zoning Atlas Amendment 94 The Applicant for the RTLP proposal give a presentation 95 96 Randy Marshall: I read in some of the material here that you are likely going to consider putting left turn only from 97 that service road onto Davis Drive, I didn’t see it in your presentation. Is that something you’re considering doing, left 98 turn only coming out of the service drive onto Davis? 99 100 Michael Birch: Correct, we have added a condition that is part of the case that requires the developer to install 101 signage essentially stating ‘left hand turns only’ there at that access point. That is part of the conditions. 102 103 Randy Marshall: I think that would help address some of the residents concern that there’d be a lot of increased 104 traffic going down Davis Road or at least intending to try to control traffic and encourage them to turn left, that might 105 allay some of their concerns. 106 107 Michael Birch: Absolutely, and that access point is approximately 1000 feet from the intersection with 86 and as I 108 mentioned, the traffic engineers have been working with the County and the State to really anticipate only about 5% 109 461
