11 <br /> 1 Cy Stober said that the FLUM described in slide #16 was based on surveys with the <br /> 2 community. <br /> 3 Commissioner McKee said population was possibly not a consideration when creating the <br /> 4 rural activity nodes. He said there is still very low population density in those nodes, and only one <br /> 5 with any appreciable activity, which is Caldwell. He said as the population increases; you may get <br /> 6 more activity in the nodes. He said in the case of Caldwell, it might not make sense for someone <br /> 7 else to put in another store. He said there are some heavily traveled roads in the northern part of <br /> 8 the county which may be appropriate for storage facilities. He said he thought it was important to <br /> 9 keep the activity nodes for future use, but he did not see the possibility of changes in the short <br /> 10 term. <br /> 11 Commissioner Portie-Ascott noted that when she lived in the Carr area, they expected <br /> 12 development and internet infrastructure to eventually come, but it never did. She asked when <br /> 13 and if the Board would have a discussion on changing things so that more development can go <br /> 14 into those nodes. <br /> 15 Commissioner McKee said when thinking about expanding opportunities, a better choice <br /> 16 for a node would have been the Efland-Cedar Grove Road/86 intersection where there is already <br /> 17 a tire store. He said that Highway 86 is a high traffic flow area. He said that in 1981, these nodes <br /> 18 were probably all equal at that time. He said that traffic flow would now support additional <br /> 19 businesses there. <br /> 20 Commissioner Carter said the proposed changes to the future land use map shows a node <br /> 21 at the intersection referenced by Commissioner McKee. <br /> 22 Vice-Chair Hamilton the way she understood the conception of the rural activity nodes, is <br /> 23 that the decision makers at the time were leaving room for services to the community. She said <br /> 24 the fact that something hasn't developed tells her that the economics aren't behind it. She said <br /> 25 the one node that does concern her is the rural industrial activity node, because if what they are <br /> 26 planning for is not compatible with the economics or other uses, then maybe the Board needs to <br /> 27 decide that the node is not relevant anymore. <br /> 28 <br /> 29 Slide #17 <br /> Appendix F:Land Use and Zoning Matrix <br /> xarnao NfsraMln <br /> C'Yayr11.0 T—Nb• F,r t Adwl•trlr .Uy M• iprl a•drr d�ppr.ylpu of W J.W Fiaa•1•a A.— <br /> C"trrM1e ra TwasN4pA <br /> 1d 5:'.0 irae.0 ion • ♦ ♦ <br /> to V..—Tmdtlaa '- <br /> q <°•nwerelal TraullWa. � � � <br /> g Aefiy <br /> mn.raLl-fwdinrsi•F ♦ <br /> FTrsoN[q�Acrh — _ <br /> Ernaask Nwrl•Fwrr1 <br /> T i <br /> Mawl Nafor <br /> R RMidralial <br /> Rural Coaaaar♦ip AcBshy <br /> Bawl Y�YY•r►nad <br /> a 4 A <br /> $uwl lud•srrial AcWNq ♦ ♦ <br /> \•da <br /> P•Mre C•r•mAwr <br /> • The Matrix links the County's zoning districts to the future land use classifications. <br /> • Note the similarities among the Zoning districts that are compatible with RANs <br /> • Different only in the application of 1-1 and MPD-CD <br /> GRANGE COUNTY <br /> NORTH CAROLINA <br /> 30 <br />
