® r � is located. The industrial park is not completely developed, however, warehousing is already located on the southern end and the northern end, fronting on U.S.#1. A truck storage facility is located at the northern end, fronting on Old Dixie Highway. To the south of the subject property is O'Neill's storage facility. Scattered single family residential develop- ment is located on the east side of U.S.#1. Utilities - The subject property does not receive water or -sewer services. U.S.#l, a major arterial and Old Dixie Highway, a secondary collector, provide vital transportation facilities to the site. Traffic - Traffic analysis was based on -the assumption that the uses would be similar to the ones already existing and adjacent to the subject property; light manufacturing/ repairing and warehousing. Based on this assumption, traffic generated by a permitted use is not anticipated to have a significant impact on U.S.#1 or Old Dixie Highway at this location. However, it is recognized that it will contribute to the accumulative traffic over a long term period. The Comprehensive Plan calls for frontage roads and limited access in developments along major arterials. It is strongly recom- mended that the Old Dixie Highway provide access to the subject property. Old Dixie can function as a marginal access road -s ,along U.S.#1 in this particular area. RECOMMENDATION: The uses allowed in the M-1 District are compatible and similar to those uses on the north side. U.S.#1 provides an adequate corridor separating any residential uses to the east. Old Dixie provides a marginal access road for U.S.#1 in the area. Based on these considerations, staff recommends approval. 4 Ms. Johnson described the area, noting that although there is some residential on the east of U.S.1, the highway is a buffer. It is recommended that access be onto Old Dixie. She further noted that this is in compliance with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan. Commissioner Fletcher asked if it is the intent that exclusive access be from Old Dixie. Ms. Johnson stated that this will be addressed more specifically when the applicant comes in with his site plan; they are only monitoring it because there are a number of e people accessing onto U. S. 1 now. Commissioner Fletcher asked if a cardboard placard announcing the proposed rezoning was placed on the subject property, and Ms. Johnson stated that, to the best of her knowledge, it was, but she did not know how long it remained there. 50 to- 52 Pn E,2,_?6
