- M M the subject node. In the case of the Oslo Road/74th Avenue node, the truss plant went into production within the last two years and is currently proposing expansion, and the adjacent citrus packing plant has recently come on-line. Also within the last two years, the Oceanspray facility has gone through expansion, and Hercules has completed renovations. A great deal of interest has also been expressed in this node, including a recently submitted request to rezone 34+ acres lying within the current boundaries from CG, General Commercial District to IL, Light Industrial District. This request received a recommendation for approval by the Planning and Zoning Commission at their regular meeting of October 8, 1987. Another characteristic to be considered is the location of this node, especially its proximity to I-95 and Oslo Road. Eventually, the State, FDOT will construct an interchange at Oslo Road and I-95. This interchange will then provide the node with direct access to a major north/south state transportation corridor. The access will increase the attractiveness to this area, and it can be anticipated that development will then increase at a rapid rate. Because of demand for industrial and commercial uses in this area expected to arise from an I-95 interchange, there is a need to ensure that the buildout acreage of the node is protected from residential encroachment. Once residential development establishes itself in an area, expansion of a node near the area of residential development is difficult. Therefore, it is often desirable to ensure that adequate node _acreage is reserved. on the other hand, if too large an area is proposed for node use, inefficient and undesirable land development patterns occur. If the proposed node expansion is approved, it will assist in establishing a future development pattern in this area which will provide for an orderly transition from residential to commercial, as well as provide ample room for future commercial and indus- trial development. Existing Land Use Pattern Currently, the area proposed to be included in the expanded node is zoned A-1, Agricultural District (up to 1 unit/5 acres). The property north and east is vacant and zoned A-1. The property to the west of the subject parcel is vacant and currently zoned RS -1, Single -Family Residential District (up to 1 unit/acre). The property south of the subject area is vacant and zoned CG,_ General Commercial, and A-1. Future Land Use Pattern The Comprehensive Land Use Plan designates the subject property as AG, Agricultural (allowing up to 1 unit/5 acres). The land north and east is also designated as AG. The land south of the subject site is within the currently defined Oslo Road/74th Avenue node. The property to the west is designated RR -2, Rural Residental 2 (allowing up to 1 unit/acre). Transportation System The subject property will have access to 74th Avenue, classified as a primary collector on the County's Thoroughfare Plan; 82nd Avenue, classified as a secondary collector; and 5th Street S.W. to the north, also classified as a secondary collector. The eventual build -out will have a substantial impact on the thoroughfare system; however, the level of service on the existing roads in the area is currently at a level of service OCT 42 71987 35 BOOK, 69 PACE 808
