EXHIBIT R Page 64 <br />This site was added to the industrial land inventory to. provide a large (200+ acre) site for <br />a special heavy industrial park. The minimum parcel size for lots in the industrial park <br />shall be 40 acres. Prior to subdivision, it shall be demonstrated that the comprehensive <br />development plan ensures compatibility among planned uses within the park as well as <br />with adjacent properties and that access to both the Seuther- Qu Pacific and <br />Burlington Northern railroads has been extended into the area or that a surety sufficient to <br />secure such extension has been posted with the city. <br />The comprehensive development plan shall include the layout of lots, railroad right-of- <br />way, streets, utilities and performance and site development standards. It shall also <br />consider the provisions of a "public team track." The comprehensive development plan <br />shall be designed to protect and enhance the site for special heavy industrial users <br />'requiring a campus-like setting and rail access. Uses in this area shall be limited to <br />industries which are rail dependent or require a minimum site of 100 acres. <br />Small-Scale Light Industry (not shown on Metro Plan Diagram) <br />This category is characterized by industrial uses that emit no smoke, noise, glare, heat, dust, <br />objectionable odors, or vibrations beyond property boundaries; pursue their activities within <br />buildings; and do not generate a large amount of vehicular trips for employees, customers, or <br />freight movements. Depending on the local situation, in some instances such industrial uses <br />may be incorporated into mixed use areas. To enhance compatibility with adjacent non- <br />industrial areas, local governments should apply development standards to specific proposals. <br />Such standards should address building height, setbacks, adequate off-street parking areas, <br />landscaping, and safe and efficient access. The determination of the appropriateness of specific <br />sites and uses or additional development standards is left to the local jurisdictions. Minimum <br />locational standards and site criteria include: <br />1. Access to arterial streets, normally without use of residential streets. <br />2. Up to five acres, with sufficient parking areas and frontage to accommodate structures, <br />parking areas, and access in character with adjacent non-industrial properties. <br />Nodal Development Area (Node) <br />Areas identified as nodal development areas in TransPlan are considered to have potential for <br />this type of land use pattern. Other areas, not proposed for nodal development in TransPlan, <br />may be determined to have potential for nodal development. <br />Nodal development is a mixed-use pedestrian-friendly land use pattern that seeks to increase <br />concentrations of population and employment in well-defined areas with good transit service, a <br />mix of diverse and compatible land uses, and public and private improvements designed to be <br />pedestrian and transit oriented. <br />Fundamental characteristics of nodal development require: <br />62 ii-G-B <br />Laurel Ridge Record (Z 15-5) Page 383 <br />
