Director Keating stressed that while this property is located within the CR 512/1-95 Commercial/Industrial 665 acre Node, it and the property around it, though not heavily developed, is zoned residential. He further noted that the major portion of the node is on the north side of 512, and when land was added to the node on the south side of 512, it centered around that land being used for a more retail commercial type activity rather than the more industrial activity that was intended for the northern side. Staff is concerned that the way this particular parcel goes will have a domino effect on parcels on the south side of 512. Commissioner Eggert noted that the Economic Development Council and the new industries group of the Council of 100 have been following this same kind of track and they are looking at the potential of an industrial park out there. She personally for a long time has had a problem with sticking heavy commercial in the middle of residential and her vote will reflect that. Chairman Wheeler had a question about what is allowed and what is not allowed in CH, i.e., no fast food and no drive- throughs. He wanted to know why those uses are not allowed. Director Keating explained that what the CH District is intended to create is a warehouse district or an entire manufacturing district where there are heavy uses and a lot of truck traffic. The idea is to separate out the high intensity uses such as high intensity retail or restaurants of that type. Staff is recommending that the type of uses approved here would be CG or CL which would allow high-intensity retail and drive- through type retail. Chairman Wheeler felt there is an inconsistency when you separate out fast foods and drive-throughs but put in 7-11 Stores and gas stations. Commissioner Scurlock felt all those intense uses should be included in the same group. He believed the major concern is traffic flow and having areas with good ingress and egress. 37 DEC 1S 1989 BOOK lid
