r NGV 17 1957 <br />BOOK 70 F'�10E 105' <br />When this node was originally established at 230 acres, staff had <br />envisioned the north side. of Oslo Road as being restricted to <br />commercial use. Since this time, the node has. been substantially <br />enlarged to 450 acres. In reanalyzing this. node, staff -has <br />concluded that due to the nature of the area, and the established <br />trend of development demonstrated by the existing industrial uses <br />immediately south across Oslo Road, there will continue to be a <br />greater interest in industrial development within this node than <br />that for commercial. Because of the enlargement of this node, <br />ample room exists for future commercial and industrial <br />development, and any decrease in existing commercial can be made <br />up in the future when more interest in commercial development <br />arises. On October 27, 1987, the Board of County Commissioners <br />voted 4-0 to transmit the request to enlarge this node to the <br />state for their review and comment. <br />Transportation System <br />The subject site has access to Oslo Road which is classified as <br />an arterial road by the County Thoroughfare Plan, and to 74th <br />Avenue classified as a secondary collector. The current level of <br />service (LOS) for both roads is LOS "A". The anticipated traffic <br />will have no substantial impact on the current LOS. <br />Environment <br />The subject site is not considered to be environmentally <br />sensitive, nor is it located in a flood prone area. <br />Utilities <br />This area is not currently serviced by public water or wastewater <br />facilities. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Based on the analysis performed, staff recommends approval. <br />Chairman Scurlock opened the Public Hearing and asked if <br />anyone wished to be heard in this matter. <br />John Eddy, 7370 Oslo Road, owner of property east of the <br />subject property, was concerned about any increase in traffic and <br />noise pollution from a light industry use. He wished to know <br />what type of industry is going in there and what effect it will <br />have on the surrounding area. <br />Planner David Nearing explained that at the time of a <br />rezoning staff is not permitted to look at what actual use is <br />going to be placed on the property; however, at the -time of site <br />plan approval, certain safeguards to buffer surrounding uses are <br />put into place. Uses permitted in the IL (Light Industry) <br />designation are warehousing and certain types of manufacturing, <br />such as woodworking. The permitted uses are not a heavy type of <br />commercial use. <br />10 <br />M M M <br />
