The proposed project 92 <br />encompasses approximately 180 acres in the Hillsborough Economic Development District (EDD) 93 <br />south of Interstate 40 and west of Old Highway 86, within Hillsborough Township. 168 acres are 94 <br />currently zoned MPD-CZ (Settler’s Point) and 12 acres are currently zoned R-1 (Rural Residential). 95 <br />This item is scheduled for BOCC public hearing on September 15, 2020. 96 <br /> PRESENTER: Michael Harvey, Current Planning Supervisor 97 <br />Michael Harvey reviewed the abstract and proposed changes to the Zoning Atlas Amendment 98 <br />The Applicant for the RTLP proposal give a presentation 99 <br /> 100 <br />Randy Marshall: I read in some of the material here that you are likely going to consider putting left turn only from 101 <br />that service road onto Davis Drive, I didn’t see it in your presentation. Is that something you’re considering doing, left 102 <br />turn only coming out of the service drive onto Davis? 103 <br /> 104 <br />Michael Birch: Correct, we have added a condition that is part of the case that requires the developer to install 105 <br />signage essentially stating ‘left hand turns only’ there at that access point. That is part of the conditions. 106 <br /> 107 <br />Randy Marshall: I think that would help address some of the residents concern that there’d be a lot of increased 108 <br />traffic going down Davis Road or at least intending to try to control traffic and encourage them to turn left, that might 109 <br />allay some of their concerns. 110 <br />6
