STAFF COMMENT: Both Planning and NC Department of Transportation (NC DOT) <br />staff have reviewed the proposal. Comments from County staff are contained in <br />Attachment 6. <br />The TIA indicates a secondary access point serving the project shall be necessary given <br />the anticipated intensity of the project, which NC DOT staff have determined Service <br />Road is unable to support. At this time the applicant is proposing to use Davis Road to <br />address this need. <br />Staff has expressed concern over anticipated access onto Davis Road. The TIA for the <br />project identified upgrades intended to ameliorate potential impacts to adjacent property <br />owners. This includes installation of a traffic light at the intersection of Davis Road and <br />Old NC Highway 86. <br />Staff has recommended the imposition of various condition(s) to address access management <br />issues as contained in Attachment 11. <br /> <br />Land Uses: As previously indicated herein, the applicant is proposing various land uses <br />focusing on warehousing/supply chain fulfillment services, research/development, and <br />manufacturing activities. The proposal also includes a list of prohibited land uses. As part of <br />the MPD-CZ process, only those approved land use categories can be developed within the <br />project consistent with applicable development standards. <br />STAFF COMMENT: Proposed uses are consistent with: <br />• The existing MPD-CZ for Settlers Point; <br />• Previous general use zoning district designation(s) for the parcels south of <br />Interstate 40, specifically Economic Development Hillsborough (EDH-5); <br />• Section 5.2 Table of Permitted Uses of the UDO; and <br />• Anticipated land uses for the area as reflected within the adopted Orange <br />County Comprehensive Plan and the Town of Hillsborough/Orange County <br />Central Orange Coordinated Area (COCA) Land Use Plan <br />Several comment(s) have been made insinuating the applicant is not providing <br />sufficient/specific information on the actual ‘tenants’ for the project. It has been suggested <br />the County should deny the project unless/until specific tenants can be identified for <br />public scrutiny and approval. <br />Land use and zoning processes do not allow/require the level of scrutiny sought by the <br />general public (i.e. veto power on specific tenants). The applicant is obligated to identify <br />those land use categories it is seeking approval from the County to develop but are not <br />obligated/required to provide a site specific development plan identifying actual ‘tenants’ <br />for approval. <br />Through this process, the County is essentially creating a new zoning district with <br />mandatory development standards/criteria governing actual development activities. The <br />County does have the ability to comment/make conditions on proposed land use <br />categories (i.e. manufacturing land uses, research land uses, professional office land <br />uses, etc.) but does not have the ability to compel the applicant’s identify specific clients <br />or reject same. <br />If there is a concern over a particular activity, the BOCC can impose conditions <br />addressing same. <br />7
