I BOOK 61 PvjE 913 Planner Shearer reported that currently there are approxi- mately 180 acres of industrial zoned land southwest of the intersection and more than 100 acres commercially zoned in this area. Staff put together a proposal to include all the indus- trial zoned land in the node, plus some additional commercial land immediately adjacent. Discussion ensued regarding the boundaries, and Planner Shearer referred to the map in the backup material which represents 230 acres. He noted that they do have a site plan on the little area of C-1 that juts out east of 74th Ave. S.W. Commissioner Scurlock believed that the DOT long range plan- ning indicates re priorities that the next interchange would be at Oslo and 1-95, and he wondered if we are getting into some kind of problem locating the node so far from that intersection and then trying to in -fill. Chairman Lyons concurred with this concern. Planner Shearer noted that these boundaries are based on the description of the node in the plan. If and when there is an interchange at Oslo, he believed staff then would have to take another look, expand the node, and modify the description at that time. Administrator Wright noted that we have existing uses in there now for about 40% of the node; he emphasized that even if they started building the interchange today, it would take about three years, and he, therefore, felt we should wait till then and expand the noded accordingly. Director Keating advised that this is primarily an indus- trial node with the truss plant, the pectin plant, etc., and he felt until we get the interchange and there is sufficient demand for it, the commercial there will be accessory commercial. He felt when the time comes, staff would be looking at either recommending the establishment of an entirely new node around the interchange or a substantial expansion of this one. 30 - M M
