land north, south, and west of it as LD -2, Low -Density Residential 2 (up to 6 units/acre). The land east of the subject property is part of the U.S. Highway #1 Mixed Use Corridor which extends 300 feet west of Old Dixie Highway. In addition, there is an 80 acre commercial node at the intersection of Oslo Road and U.S.#1. The Land Use Element of the Comprehensive. Plan discourages strip commercial development along arterial streets such as Oslo Road, but encourages compact commercial development in identified commercial nodes. The -subject property cannot logically be included in the commercial node at U.S.#1 and Oslo Road. At the present time, all of the existing commercial zoning and commercial uses around this node are located on the east side of U.S.#1 except for the PVC furniture center which is at the southwest corner of U.S.#1 and Oslo Road.

Transportation System The subject property has direct access to Oslo Road (classified as an arterial street on the County's Thoroughfare Plan). Utilizing the maximum development allowed under a plan amend- ment and current zoning, the development of the property would attract approximately 1500 average annual daily trips (AADT). Environment The subject property is not environmentally sensitive nor is it in a flood, -prone area. Utilities County water and wastewater facilities are not available for the subject property.
