used successfully in Cabarrus County and the planning staff is currently working on regulations to achieve these purposes. In the interim I would propose that many of these provisions be employed in this PDO to " ensure that it is compatible with the area and future development. (2) Relation to Major Road~ Utilities and other Services - the applicant's property has 400 feet of frontage 6n a roadway (N'.C. 24/27) designated as a major thoroughfare in the County Thoroughfare Plan. County water has also recently been extended to the front of the property. The Midland Volunteer Fire Department is within a mile and a half of the applicants property. {3) Evidence of Unified Control - applicant proposes to sell subject property to Pepsi Cola, Inc. Pepsi will own the entire tract and will therefore have control over the tracts development. No roadways, parks, utilities or other improvements are reguired for the development so no special agreements, contracts etc. are needed. Cabarrus County has the authority to enforce zoning provisions made as part of this PDO. Therefore adequate control to enforce PDO provisions exists. {4) Suitability of Plans - the applicant's and prospective buyeC's representative and I have reviewed the plans for the property and have modified them to include additional safeguard performance standards. I feel that the majority of these standards would be applicable to other similar industrial-situations-~esiring-to-locate~..along~najor-thoroughfares in' the county~ As-such ~I~see~his.:PDOand the suggested_performance as a test-sitbation~for the possible development' 6f~:~thoroughf~re~_ overlay zone-to prote~t and'better'utilize th~lCounty's thorooghfares.

(5) Adherence~to or Modification-of PDO Requirements --the applicant's · representative has agreed to the PDO performance ~ards. I Lrecommend imposing:the site design standardscontained'inthe followinq-reoort recommendation rather than outlined in Section 3.9-13{8). The proposed design standards are more restrictive. I do not see any additional requirements that may need to be imposed. However, the Planning Board and County Commissioners are free to suggest any modifications they feel appropriate. Reco~endation After careful review of the proposed use I recommend approval of the Welch I-1 (PDO-I) subject to the following conditions and performance standards: Il) Permitted Uses: All uses permitted in the underlying I-1 District which also meet the following requirement: Industrial uses of land and building for administration, research, manufacturing, processing, fabrication, assembly, freight handling, storage, distribution, and similar operations.
