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