NEIGHBORHOOD CHARACTERISTICS
Trend and direction of real estate development and area economic health. Physical condition of buildings and
improvements in the immediate vicinity. Concentration of affordable housing.
Woodland Village - The proposed site is located 2.7 miles southeast of downtown Hudson. A new single
family residential neighborhood is located to the south of the site. This portion of Pine Mountain Road has
seen tremendous growth over the past four years. There is a new Food Lion, Rite Aid, Wendys' Restaurant,
Walgreens (under construction) and the new Deercreek residential development. Hudson is quickly
becoming a bedroom community for both Lenior and Hickory. Over 16,000 cars pass by the intersection of
HWY 321 and Pine Mountain Road every day. Downtown Lenoir is less than 4 miles to the north and
Hickory is less than 8 miles to the south.
Land use pattern is residential in character (single and multifamily housing). Extent that the location is
isolated. Effect of industrial, large-scale institutional or other incompatible uses, including but not limited to:
wastewater treatment facilities, high traffic corridors, junkyards, prisons, landfills, large swamps, distribution
facilities, frequently used railroad tracks, power transmission lines and towers, factories or similar operations,
sources of excessive noise, and sites with environmental concerns (such as odors or pollution). Amount and
character of vacant, undeveloped land. The site is part of the Deer Creek residential community located to
the south of the site. The area is mostly residential in character. Major growth is 1/4 mile to the west and the
intersection of HWY 321 and Pine Mountain Road. Hospice is building a new facility to the south of our
proposed development. The vacant land that surrounds our proposed development is zoned and subdivided
for single family residential. Pine Mountain Road is a residential road with mostly morning and afternoon
traffic. A small woodworking shop, exists southwest of the site and directly behind the shopping center. This
facility is open 8am-5pm and employs ten people. No excessive noise or odors were observed during
multiple site visits.
SITE SUITABILITY
Adequate traffic safety controls (i.e. stop lights, speed limits, turn lanes). Burden on public facilities
(particularly roads). Access to mass transit (if applicable). Visibility of buildings and/or location of project sign
(s) in relation to traffic corridors. Lights and turn lane exist at the intersection of Pine Mountain Road and
HWY 321. Pine Mountain Road provides excellent access to amenities as well as being a major commuter
corridor. We are planning a single entrance to correspond with our proposed family development located to
the southwest of the site. The speed limit is 35 mph along this section of Pine Mountain Road. Site visibility
will be excellent along Pine Mountain Road.
Degree of on-site negative features and physical barriers that will impede project construction or adversely
affect future tenants; for example: power transmission lines and towers, flood hazards, steep slopes, large
boulders, ravines, year-round streams, wetlands, and other similar features (for adaptive re-use projects-
suitability for residential use and difficulties posed by the building(s), such as limited parking, environmental
problems or the need for excessive demolition).
