14- <br />Techniques for reducing noise levels are highlighted in 2.4 - <br />Environmental Factors. <br />The northern portion of the district includes a "finger -like" <br />projection along the west side of Old NC Highway 86, <br />extending from Cates Creek to Oakdale Drive. Because of its <br />proximity to existing single-family homes in the Cornwallis Hills <br />Subdivision, that portion of the district has been designated <br />as a Primary Overlay Area. Manufacturing and wholesale trade <br />uses are not permitted, and retail uses are allowed only after <br />approval of a Speciar Use Permit. While hours of operation <br />are limited, the landscape -to- building ratios are the same as <br />required in the Primary I Development Area." <br />AcCe33 to the four quadrants of this district is generally <br />available from Old N.C. Highway 86 or by- ray -of service <br />roads paralleling 1 -40. Primary I Development Areas on the <br />north side of 1 -40 are focused on these thoroughfares <br />because they link directly with 1 -40 and provide the most <br />efficient means of moving people, goods, and services in and <br />out of the area. Nevertheless, because of the potential for <br />strip commercial development, access is limited to certain <br />locations. These access points as well as a collector road <br />system and transit access point are identified on the schematic <br />plan for the district. Standards for intersection and roadway <br />design are explained in greater detail in section 3.3, <br />Circulation & Parking. <br />To the south of 1-40, a Primary II Development Area has been <br />designated adjacent to the interstate highway and its <br />Intersection with Old N.C. Highway 86. While the range of <br />permitted uses is similar to that of the Primary I Development <br />Area., retail uses are limited, and higher landscape -to- building <br />ratios are required. These ratios and their application are <br />explained in detail in section 2.3 - Land Use Intensity. <br />"Aiwrxtd s -29-SS Two significant resources existing within the boundaries of the <br />district include a bottomland hardwood forest bordering Cates <br />Creek and the remnants of the "New Chapel Hill Road".
