M M r <br />The land north and east of the subject property is also <br />designated as MXD. The land south and west of the subject <br />property is -designated as LD -2. Further south is the U.S.#1 <br />and Wabasso Road commercial/industrial node. <br />Presently, the only area.around the Wabasso Road and U.S.#1 <br />intersection that is zoned for industrial uses is the area west <br />of the F.E.C. railroad and north of Wabasso. Because this land <br />has frontage on the railroad right-of-way and there are few <br />residential uses in the area, this generally seems to be an <br />appropriate location for industrial activity. <br />A map of the U.S.#land Wabasso Road node has been prepared to <br />show the proposed outer limit boundaries of the node (including <br />300 acres) and the flexible boundaries of the node (including <br />150 acres). This map is included as Attachment #3. <br />The center of the node is the U.S.#1/Wabasso Road intersection. <br />Using the center of the node, the size constraint of this <br />particular node, and the existing commercial and industrial <br />development,.a perimeter was established. The flexible <br />boundaries were drawn based on the existing commercial and <br />industrial land uses around the center of the node, the infill <br />property which can naturally be expected to develop in <br />commercial or industrial uses in the near future, and the <br />current pattern of residential development in this area. The <br />proposed flexible boundaries include approximately 150 acres. <br />Based upon the recommended flexible and outer limits boundaries <br />of the node, the subject property is located too far north to <br />logically be included -in the node. The flexible boundary <br />includes approximately 65 acres of land located west of the MXD <br />area and north of Wabasso Road.. Stretching the node to include <br />the subject property could lead to problems in allocating land <br />to other quadrants of the node in the near future. <br />After the public hearing before the Planning and Zoning <br />Commission, the applicants contacted the Planning Department <br />about the possibility of rearranging the outer limit boundary <br />to include the subject property. The Planning Department feels <br />that -the proposed outer limit boundary is logical and that <br />altering it could lead to spreading the node too far. Rearrang- <br />ing the outer limit boundary would still not include the <br />subject property within the flexible boundary. <br />Transportation System <br />The subject property does.not have access to a public road and <br />is one-half mile north of Wabasso Road. However, Kings Highway <br />(58th Avenue) is planned to continue northward from Wabasso <br />Road as a secondary collector road. If Kings Highway were <br />extended, it would run along the western boundary of the <br />subject property.- The property owner would be required to <br />provide access to the site prior to development. <br />Environment <br />The subject property is not designated as environmentally <br />sensitive nor is it in a flood -prone area. 'However, the <br />subject property is located on the sand ridge, an important <br />aquifer recharge area. <br />Utilities - <br />County water and wastewater facilities are not available for <br />the subject property. <br />29 <br />JUL 111984 8OOK 57 FAIE 6�® <br />
