LAND USE ELEMENT 3-13Natural Features: There are no natural features typical of Interstate Commerce areadiscerning them from other areas. Often, however, the area immediately adjacent tothe interchange must be relatively flat and free of development barriers in order tobe included in this classification.Existing Land Use: The areas identified by this plan as Interstate Commerce Areasare already, to a limited extent, used for some commercial use with some sporadicsingle family residential use also in the area or nearby.Recommended Land Use Pattern and Development Criteria: The following arerecommended land use types for the Interstate Commerce Areas generally. Alsoprovided are general guidelines for development in Interstate Commerce Areas.‣ The community should insure that utilities and other infrastructure areadequate to serve future expansion of existing and future industrial areas.‣ Commercial uses should primarily be Interstate Commercial and Touristand Convenience Commercial uses.‣ Noncommercial development should be discouraged.‣ Access points in such high traffic areas should be controlled carefully.‣ As entry points into the community, Interstate Commerce areas shouldhave only the higher quality development. Signs and building designguidelines should be considered.G. Natural Resource AreaIntroduction: Hardin County is blessed with a diverse and varying landscape. Thenatural environment in Hardin County provides many opportunities but, also raisesmany issues. This plan identifies an area in Hardin County that, in particular, isworthy of special recognition and efforts to positively affect the natural resourcescontained therein. The area, generally, is that area surrounding the urban area notincluding the identified rural areas.Natural Features: The area identified as the Natural Resource Area has very gentlyrolling to flat land. It has some of the best soils and agricultural land in thecommunity. It is also the location of wells that provide drinking water for thecommunity. There are flood hazards associated with the Mays Run, West RhudesCreek, Nolin River, Valley Creek, Rose Run, Middle Creek, Jackson Branch, Pup Run,Clear Run, Cox Run, Neely Branch and Sandy Creek water features that can affectdevelopment potential.Existing Land Use: This rather large area is marked by single family residential usesdeveloped in a low to moderately low density pattern. Sporadic nonresidential andcommunity facility uses can be found in the area but they are not prevalent.Agricultural use is perhaps the predominant use in the area.2008 Comprehensive Plan
LAND USE ELEMENT 3-14Recommended Land Use Pattern and Development Criteria: The following arerecommended land use types for the Natural Resource Area generally. Also providedare general guidelines for development in Natural Resource Area.‣ Wellhead protection areas should be established and protected throughstrict regulatory controls on development type, density and timing.‣ A low density residential use is the recommended density level for theNatural Resource Area.‣ Agricultural lands should be preserved and agricultural operationsprotected and encouraged by the use of various land use techniquesincluding, but not limited to, residential clustering, conservationeasements and right to farm regulations.‣ Prior to any development occurring in rural areas the roadway networkserving the particular development should meet minimum roadwaystandards as established by local regulation or by policies in this plan.‣ Community facilities are permissible based on the population and thecapacity of the infrastructure to serve the particular site.‣ Where feasible and practical infrastructure such as decentralized sewagedisposal systems should be provided.‣ All development activities should preserve and enhance the existing ruralcharacter of this area.‣ Any commercial development within the area should be limited to majorcrossroads in the area and be carefully reviewed so as not to negativelyimpact the area.‣ Any commercial development in this area should be limited toNeighborhood Commercial or Convenience Commercial uses located atstrategic sites serving local demand, not regional or area-wide demand.‣ The Regional Wastewater Facilities Plan identifies this area as part of arural watershed and does not propose a regional wastewater treatmentsolution in the next twenty year planning period. The continued use ofon-site treatment/disposal systems is expected. Portions of this area arelocated in a Source Water Protection Area. For development that occursin these areas, the construction of decentralized wastewater collection andtreatment systems with long-term management, operation andmaintenance is preferred for protection of the source water.2008 Comprehensive Plan
