051 Pg 2 of 2 Pit Recommendation-Petition 2010-0601 rear and side yard setbacks, and no maximum building height requirement. (A list of uses permitted in the LI district is included in the agenda package for your reference) Utilities: Public water is accessible to the site by means of a 12-inch water line in the right-of-way of Colon Road. A public sewer lift station has been installed northeast of US 1 and Colon Road to facilitate the planned expansion of the Lee County Industrial Park. The applicant is required to coordinate with the City Public Works Department regarding connection to these public utilities. Emergency Response: The subject property is located within the Deep River Fire District. The Deep River Rural Fire Department is located on Deep River Road and currently provides service to this site. Additionally, Deep River Rural Fire Department plans to build a new sub-station on Lower Moncure Road which will provide additional coverage to this area. Transportation: The 2008 Annual Daily Traffic Study reports 2,600 vehicles trips per day on Colon Road near the subject property. The 1994 Sanford Thoroughfare Plan states that Colon Road serves the industrial area of northeast Sanford and provides an alternative route from US#I to Sanford and Hawkins Avenue. The proposed zoning and development as C-2 and LI uses would be expected to generate increased traffic on Colon Road. Also, local road projects submitted to NCDOT includes a request for funding for the widening of Colon Road from Osgood Road to Deep River Road, in order to support the continued development of.the Lee County Industrial Park. Environmental: The property is located within the Cape Fear WS-IV Protected Area (CFS-WS-N-PA) watershed. All non-residential development must comply with the development limits and standards of this watershed. A very small area of floodplain exists on the southeast corner of one tract located cast of US Highway 1. No other tracts are located in a flood hazard area. Development Standards: if rezoned, the future development of the site will be required to meet all building design standards for non-residential developments along a thoroughfare in addition to all other development standards of the Unified Development Ordinance. Sanford/Lee County 2020 Land Use Plan: The 2020 Land Use Plan and Map identify areas at the interchange of Colon Road and US Highway 1 as being within a Highway Node with additional Highway Overlay standards. Areas outside of the Highway Node are in a Low/Mid Density Residential classification. The Highway Node classification identifies major mixed-use areas of retail, service centers, as well as office and business parks. The Low/Mid Density Residential classification is designed for single-family homes, duplexes and townhomes. Development at a highway node should be sited and designed as a community gateway. The Highway Overlay adds a higher level of design standards for uses developed along a major highway corridor. Additionally, the 2020 Land Use Plan encourages the Community to permit commercial and retail establishments provided that proper buffering and design is furnished as needed and the traffic generated does not have a negative impact on the neighborhoods. Deep River Small Area Land Use Plan: The Deep River Small Area Plan concurs with the 2020 Land Use Plan and Map. The Deep River Plan suggests that new industrial development be located in the existing and proposed expansion area of the industrial park, along Hwy 15-501 corridor and within areas adjacent to the Sanford/Lee County Regional Airport. Rezoning this property from Residential Agricultural District to General Commercial (C-2) and Light Industrial (LI) District would conform to the 2020 and Deep River Land Use Plans and Maps.
