rMAY 5197 BOCK 68 FD E 232 deleted from the node thru a comprehensive plan amendment to enlarge the node by 15 acres. The staff is concerned about further commercial development on the south side of County Road 512 but concurs with the Planning and Zoning Commissions two recommendations. In most instances, the proposed node boundary follows existing property boundaries. The proposed node boundary does transect two existing property lines. These parcels are rather large, and transecting them with the proposed node boundary will allow the property owners to develop a portion of their property 'for commercial uses. Physical Considerations The slope of the land in the node is from 2 to 4 % with ele- vations ranging from 21' to 25' mean sea -level. The soils in the node possess the following characteristics: poor compaction, poor shrink swell potential and are poorly drained. The aforementioned physical features indicate poor development potentials. Environment The node area is not designated as environmentally sensitive, nor is it located on the sandridge or ten -mile ridge aquifer recharge area. However, approximately 50% of the land in the node is located in the 100 year flood -plain as depicted on the Flood Insurance Rate Map for the area. Access to the Transportation network All of the parcels of land located in the I-95/C.R. 512 commer- cial/industrial node have either primary or secondary access to County Road 512 (designated as an Arterial on the Thoroughfare Plan). The existing interchange at County Road 512 and 1-95 provides access to the major north -south transportation system for the State of Florida, for all of the parcels in the node. RECOMMENDATION Based on the above analysis, including the Planning and Zoning Commission's recommendation, staff recommends approval of the proposed boundary of the I-95/C.R. 512 Commercial /Industrial node as depicted in attachment #3. 42
