He reviewed the location of the project and the adjacent <br /> zoning and land use as well as the existing Land Use Plan and proposed <br /> Joint Planning Area Plan <br /> provisions as they relate to the project. He distributed to the Boards <br /> and Council photographs of the site which were submitted by the <br /> applicant for review. <br /> Collins presented the site evaluation on the basis of HUD noise <br /> assessment guidelines. He indicated that sites adjacent to proposed I <br /> 40 would be rated "normally unacceptable" for residential use. <br /> Therefore, the staff was recommending that the Land Use Plan be revised <br /> to provide for office-institutional uses at that location. This <br /> recommendation is consistent with the revision to the proposed Joint <br /> Planning Area Plan to be presented to public hearing in April. <br /> Collins presented the material contained in the joint staff <br /> statement on the project enclosed in the agenda. He reviewed the <br /> proposed extension of water and sewer facilities and traffic patterns in <br /> the vicinity of the site. He noted that the staffs had identified <br /> Eubanks Road as a minor arterial and had developed a collector road <br /> system to serve the area. He reviewed NCDOT's comments regarding sight <br /> distance along Eubanks and noted that the applicant is working with <br /> NCDOT to resolve this issue. Collins reviewed buffer and setback <br />
