LAND USE SCENARIO ASSESSMENT
STIP Project R-2536
US 64 Improvements
Asheboro, Randolph County
Submitted by: HNTB North Carolina, P.C.
Date: August 2015
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Project Description
North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) Project
R-2536 proposes to improve the US 64 corridor in the Asheboro area and provide enhanced access to the North
Carolina Zoological Park in Randolph County, North Carolina. The project is funded in the 2016-2025 STIP and was
(et for design-build May 26, 2015. STIP Project R-2536 is a freeway facility on new (ocation that will bypass the City
of Asheboro to the south, hereinafter referred to as the proposed US 64 Asheboro Bypass. The new location
roadway begins on US 64 west of Asheboro, just to the west of the Stutts Road intersection, and ends at US 64 east
of Asheboro, just to the east of the Dewey Road intersection (Figure 1 in Appendix A). The proposed US 64
Asheboro Bypass will be a 13.7 mile long four-lane, median-divided road with full control of access and six
interchanges. The project also includes a new connector road from the proposed US 64 Asheboro Bypass to the
North Carolina Zoological Park.
Community Context
Randolph County is located in central North Carolina and is part of the eleven-county Piedmont Triad region that
includes the cities of Greensboro, High Point and Winston-Salem. Asheboro is the seat of Randolph County's
government and is (ocated approximately 25 miles south of Greensboro, 70 miles west of Raleigh, and 70 miles
northeast of Charlotte. Population data from the US Census Bureau indicate that the City of Asheboro experienced
moderate growth from 2000 to 2010 (15.4 percent) similar to the State (18.5 percent), while Randolph County
experienced (ess overall growth (8.7 percent) during the same time period. The City of Asheboro's 2020 Land
Development Plan (October 2009) indicates that Asheboro added almost 1,300 residents between 2000 and 2004,
which was primarily the result of in-migration and natural increase. The Randolph County planner attributed the
closing of several manufacturing facilities to the County's (ower growth rate between 2000 and 2010. The
Asheboro planner indicated that the City's growth was scattered across the jurisdiction, with some larger
residential developments concentrated mostly in west Asheboro (west of I-73/74) and northeast Asheboro, as well
as some outlying areas where both developable land and city services were available.
Data from the North Carolina Department of Commerce - Division of Employment Security (DES) indicates that
Randolph County (ost jobs at an annual rate of 0.1 percent between 2004 and 2014. Manufacturing still comprises
a major segment of the Asheboro area workforce. However, the manufacturing sector has diversified to some
degree in recent years from the traditional furniture and textile manufacturing that has comprised the economic
base of Asheboro to a technology based and value added manufacturing economic base. Major employers in the
Asheboro area include Randolph Hospital, Energizer Battery, Klaussner Furniture, Technimark (Plastic
Manufacturing), Hughes Furniture, Acme McCrary, Asheboro City Schools, and MOM Brands. Randolph County is a
popular tourist destination, as it is home to the North Carolina Zoological Park located just south of Asheboro. It is
the nation's largest natural-habitat zoo with 500 acres of exhibits and over 1,000 animals. The NC Zoo has
attracted between 725,000 and 750,000 visitors annually in recent years. Also (ocated in Randolph County are the
Richard Petty Museum, the NC Pottery Center in the Town of Seagrove, and the Uwharrie National Forest, all of
which attract visitors.
STIP R-2536 FINAL sICE — Randolph County

Results of the ICE Screening Tool Matrix
The purpose of this report is to assess the likelihood of possible indirect effects, in the form of change in land use
decisions, as a result of the R-2536 project, as considered in combination with other projects and development
actions occurring in the area through 2035. A Future Land Use Study Area (FLUSA) was delineated as the area that
could potentially be indirectly affected as a result of the project in combination with other actions. The area
outlined in red on Figure 1, (ocated in Appendix A, has been identified as the FLUSA.
Potential (and use effects as a result of the R-2536 project are probable as the project is expected to provide new
access and opportunities for traffic exposure to properties in the FLUSA, and will generate appreciable travel time
savings for long-distance and regional travelers. The extent of potential indirect land use effects as a result of the
R-2536 project will be largely dependent upon several key variables, including the future local economy and
market for development and public infrastructure projects. Based on the results of the Indirect Effects Screening
Matrix, the need for a Land Use Scenario Assessment (LUSA) was identified as "Likely," as there is a moderately-
high concern for indirect and cumulative effects as a result of the R-2536 project. Therefore, a LUSA was
completed.
For the LUSA, six sub-areas within the FLUSA were identified as Probable Development Areas (PDA) or areas where
the proposed project is most likely to affect land use decisions. Indirect land use effects were considered by
comparing anticipated growth scenarios with and without the proposed project.
Summary of Findings
The R-2536 project proposes improvements to US 64 in Asheboro that include a 13.7 mile bypass south of
Asheboro with a Zoo Connector. The project is designed to improve traffic flow and enhance regional through
traffic on the US 64 intrastate corridor by providing an alternative to existing US 64 through Asheboro and
improved access to the NC Zoo. The existing and projected traffic, lack of access control, and land use patterns
along existing US 64 diminish its function as an intrastate corridor. Zoo-related traffic congestion along NC 159
reduces mobility for residents in the area and makes access to residential driveways and subdivisions difficult.
Land use throughout the FLUSA is mostly rural residential, with more dense commercial development located
along and north of US 64 and industrial development scattered along NC 49, I-73/74, and US 220 Business. Overall,
the project is likely to have beneficial economic effects on the region, due to improvements to the intrastate
corridor, improved access to the area's businesses, retail/commercial and industry, as well as to the NC Zoo. Areas
adjacent to the proposed bypass are targeted in (ocal planning documents for development and may become more
attractive for development, particularly near proposed interchanges due to improved access. The City's Land
Development Plan proposes new employment centers at the interchanges of US 64 west, NC 49, I-73/74, and US 64
east, and commercial (and uses at NC 42. Industrial growth has already occurred along the NC 49, US 220 Business,
and the I-73/74 corridors. Most of the remaining FLUSA is expected to continue to develop at present rates under
current rural zoning standards. Additionally, commercial and industrial development is expected to continue
primarily along US 64, US 220 Business, I-73/74 and NC 49 corridors with or without STIP Project R-2536.
As noted by local planners, recent development in the FLUSA has mostly occurred within Asheboro's city limits,
including west Asheboro and north of existing US 64. While the residential, commercial, and industrial markets
within Asheboro's jurisdiction have been relatively steady with moderate growth, the county's market for
development is not particularly strong.
The increased mobility and accessibility and the change in travel patterns provided by STIP Project R-2536 could
accelerate planned employment center and commercial center growth in the FLUSA. However, these types of
development are consistent with locally adopted land use plans. Given that municipal water and sewer services
are predominantly limited to Asheboro's city limits and there are no current plans to extend services to southern
Asheboro in proximity to the proposed bypass facility, future development in these unserved areas may be
STIP R-2536 FINAL sICE — Randolph County 2

hindered. However, local planning documents indicate the desire to extend water and sewer service to these
areas in the future. Therefore, although the construction of the US 64 Asheboro Bypass may increase
development opportunities in southern Asheboro near interchanges, the future extension of municipal water and
sewer service in proximity to the Bypass, in combination with an improving economy, will ultimately determine the
level of future growth and development in this area.
Direct natural environmental impacts by the project would be addressed by avoidance, minimization, and
mitigation, consistent with programmatic agreements with environmental resource and regulatory agencies during
the permitting processes. Future development would be required to follow federal, state and local regulations for
the protection of water quality.
The cumulative effect of this project when considered in the context of other past, present, and future actions, and
the resulting impact on the notable human and natural features should be moderate. Projected development in
the vicinity of the proposed interchanges would be the predominant contributor to cumulative effects. However,
development is already occurring in the FLUSA without the proposed project and that development is anticipated
to continue. Based on the findings of the Indirect Screening Report STIP Project R-2536 (May 2015), further
analysis in the form of a LUSA was warranted and the cumulative effects of the R-2536 project in the context of
other, past, and future actions are further analyzed in this LUSA report.
Conclusions and Next Steps
Although the construction of the R-2536 project has the potential to influence development and accelerate growth
within the FLUSA, the Build scenario is not expected to result in increased effects to quality of life or resources.
Land use development patterns are expected to be most markedly different between the No-Build and Build
scenarios in the vicinity of the proposed NC 159/Zoo Connector interchange (PDA #3). Conversely, (and use
development patterns are not expected to be markedly different between the No-Build and Build scenarios at
either the western terminus at US 64 or the eastern terminus at US 64/NC 49 (likely to remain primarily
residential).
The cumulative effect of this project when considered in the context of other past, present, and future actions, and
the resulting impact on the notable human and natural features, should be moderate. Forecasted development
would be the predominant contributor to cumulative effects. Development is already occurring in the FLUSA and
that development is anticipated to continue, but the project could increase the likelihood and/or intensity of that
development.
An increase in stormwater runoff will occur as a result of new vehicular traffic utilizing the US 64 Asheboro Bypass
and impervious surface from buildings and parking. However, water quality concerns for both the No-Build and
Build scenarios should be minimized and/or mitigated through compliance with regulations covering watershed
protection, floodplain protection, stream and river buffers and stormwater management. As such, no additional
water quality effects analysis is recommended.
BASE SCREENING INFORMATION
Project Description
The proposed project is an improvement of the existing US 64 corridor in the southern area of the City of Asheboro
in Randolph County. This portion of US 64 improvements is identified as STIP Project R-2536 in the NCDOT Draft
2016-2025 STIP, which notes that planning/design is in progress. These improvements include a 13.7-mile new
location bypass of existing US 64 to the south of the City of Asheboro and improved access to the North Carolina
Zoological Park. According to the Draft STIP, right-of-way and construction are both funded and scheduled to
begin in 2015.
The project is designed to improve traffic flow and enhance regional through traffic on the US 64 intrastate
corridor by providing an alternative to existing US 64 through Asheboro. The existing and projected traffic, lack of
STIP R-2536 FINAL sICE — Randolph County

access control, and land use patterns along US 64 diminish its functions as an intrastate corridor. Zoo-related
traffic congestion along NC 159 makes access difficult for residents in the area. The bypass is intended to improve
traffic flow, congestion, levels of service and safety on existing US 64, and enhance high-speed regional travel on
the intrastate corridor. An additional purpose of the proposed project is to improve access to the North Carolina
Zoo. Six interchanges are proposed along the bypass.
The proposed roadway would be a four-lane, median-divided facility with six interchanges and full access control
on new location. Total right-of-way width along the new bypass will average about 300 feet, with additional right-
of-way needed at interchange locations to account for the ramps. The Zoo Connector is proposed as a two-lane
controlled access (with the exception of two break points), parkway facility that will connect the proposed US 64
Asheboro Bypass to the Zoo entrance at Zoo Parkway/NC 159 Spur.
Existing Conditions
US 64 is designated as a North Carolina Strategic Transportation Corridor and has an average annual daily traffic
volume of approximately 32,000 vehicles through the city (as of 2013). US 64 runs east-west through Randolph
County and consists of three segments within the project area. A project vicinity map is shown on Figure 1 in
Appendix A. West of Asheboro, towards Charlotte, US 64 is a two-lane undivided rural highway with a posted
45 miles per hour (mph) speed (imit. Through Asheboro, US 64 is a five-lane urban roadway with a 45 mph speed
limit. East of the city, towards Raleigh, US 64 is a four-lane divided rural highway with a 55 mph speed limit.
Neither of these segments have controlled access. Within the city limits, numerous driveways to shopping centers,
restaurants, and businesses are located on both sides of the five-lane segment. The existing and projected traffic,
(ack of access control, and (and use patterns along existing US 64 diminish its function as Strategic Transportation
Corridor.
Existing NC 159, the connection to the NC Zoo from US 64, is a two-lane rural road that winds through residential
areas and has no access control. The NC 159 speed (imit is 45 mph. When visitors (eave the NC Zoo, the
NC 159/US 64 intersection can become very congested and create backups on NC 159. Because NC 159 is also the
only outlet for adjacent residential subdivisions, congestion causes difficulty for residents accessing their homes
and reduces overall mobility.
Proposed Modifications
The proposed US 64 Asheboro Bypass is 13.7 miles in (ength with full access control on new (ocation. Six
interchange (ocations are proposed along the corridor. The typical section proposed for the US 64 Asheboro
Bypass consists of four 12-foot wide travel lanes and a 70-foot median, with 12-foot shoulders on both sides of the
travel lanes. Ten feet of the outside shoulder and four feet of the inside shoulders adjacent to the travel lanes will
be paved.
The preferred alternative begins at US 64 west of Asheboro, approximately 0.5 miles east of the US 64/SR 1424
(Stutts Road) intersection, and includes a new interchange at this location. The corridor proceeds south where it
forms an interchange with NC 49, then curves to the southeast to form an interchange with I-73/74 (US 220
Bypass). The proposed corridor continues east where it will form an interchange with the Zoo Connector, where
the Connector segment branches off to the south just west of NC 159. The bypass corridor continues to (oop
around southern Asheboro as it proceeds northeast towards US 64 with interchange (ocations at NC 42 and
existing US 64 east of Asheboro.
The Zoo Connector is proposed to be a two-lane, parkway-type, controlled access roadway (with the exception of
two break points). The typical section for the Zoo Connector consists of two 12-foot travel lanes with 8-foot
shoulders. The Zoo Connector will connect to the proposed US 64 Asheboro Bypass with a trumpet-type
interchange about 0.8 miles west of NC 159. It then connects to the NC 159 Spur with a proposed roundabout,
which is the main entrance to the NC Zoo.
STIP R-2536 FINAL sICE — Randolph County 4

Major Regional Connecting Routes
The primary east-west routes in the study area are US 64 and NC 49. To the west of Asheboro, US 64 and NC 49
join and then split east of the Town of Ramseur, (ocated in the eastern part of the county. The US 64/NC 49 route
is a four-lane facility with a center turn lane and no control of access through the City of Asheboro. The US 64/NC
49 corridor is essential in moving people and goods across the state. The route is also important as a main route to
NC 159 and the North Carolina Zoo, southeast of the City of Asheboro. West of the City, US 64/NC 49 intersects at
an interchange with I-73/74/US 220 Bypass. This road is a four-lane median divided controlled access freeway.
The I-73/74 corridor runs north-south from Greensboro/Winston-Salem/High Point to Rockingham and serves to
transport people, goods and services throughout the region.
Future Land Use Study Area
The Future Land Use Study Area (FLUSA) is the area surrounding a construction project that could possibly be
indirectly affected by the actions of others as a result of the completion of the project and combined projects. The
FLUSA generally extends approximately one to two miles from the project corridor. However, because this project
is a bypass of a current road, the boundary was extended to include areas that may be indirectly affected by the
change in traffic patterns. Therefore, the FLUSA boundary predominantly follows surrounding roads.
The eastern and southern boundary of the FLUSA includes the following roads: Iron Mountain Road, NC 42,
Fairview Farm Road, Ross Harris Road, Zoo Parkway, US 220 and I-73/74, Pisgah Covered Bridge Road, Hopewell
Friends Road, and Tot Hill Farm Road. Doul Mountain Road (eads to the Asheboro Municipal Airport and the
FLUSA boundary goes around the airport to NC 49. The western FLUSA boundary comprises Union Church Road,
Old NC 49, Cable Creek Road, Stutts Road, Back Creek Church Road, and Back Creek Road. The boundary then
follows Old Lexington Road east toward the City of Asheboro and cuts across the municipal boundary where it
narrows at approximately Fairfield Street. The boundary then picks up and follows Old Cedar Falls Road to the
intersection with Foxworth Road. To complete the boundary and include all of the proposed US 64 Bypass
alignment, the boundary connects to the US 64/Iron Mountain Road intersection. The area within the FLUSA
boundary is approximately 42,110 acres (66 square miles).
The FLUSA encompasses all of the areas examined for potential increases in development pressure as a result of
project construction and other foreseeable projects in the area. The area outlined in red on Figure 1, (ocated in
Appendix A, has been identified as the FLUSA.
Time Horizon
This report analyzes growth trends and potential development between now and the year 2035. Establishing 2035
as the horizon year is consistent with the planning horizon used for the Randolph County Comprehensive
Transportation Plan (NCDOT, January 2012J and population projections provided by the North Carolina Office of
State Budget and Management (NCOSBM). Additionally, the planning horizon for the City of Asheboro
Comprehensive Transportation Plan (NCDOT, May 2014J and the R-2536 project design year is 2040.
Other Transportation and Infrastructure Projects
This section provides a description of major transportation and infrastructure projects in the FLUSA, or in relative
proximity, that are either underway or likely to occur in the foreseeable future (e.g., funded or being planned with
a definite funding stream). This includes other NCDOT projects, (ocal transportation projects included in the
Comprehensive Transportation Plans for Randolph County and the City of Asheboro, and other local infrastructure
projects.
NCDOT Transportation Plans — In addition to the subject project, four NCDOT STIP projects are (ocated within the
FLUSA and include the following:
STIP R-2536 FINAL sICE — Randolph County

• U-5305 — NC 49 and SR 1144 (Mack Road). SR 1144 (Mack Road) intersection and approaches in
Asheboro. Operational/geometric improvements and roadway relocation/alignment. Proposed for
construction in FY 2015. Utility work is currently underway to begin construction.
• U-5743 — NC 42. Dublin Road to the intersection of US 64/NC 49 (Dixie Drive) in Asheboro. Widen to
multi-lanes for approximately 0.5 mile. Right-of-way and utilities are funded in FY 2019 and construction
is funded in FY 2020.
• U-5759 — NC 159 (Zoo Parkway). Intersection improvements to US 64 (Dixie Drive)/Atlantic Avenue in
Asheboro. Right-of-way is funded in FY 2017, and construction is funded in FY 2018.
• U-5813 — US 64. Asheboro Bypass to NC 49 in Asheboro. Widen to multi-lanes and reconstruct
interchange at NC 49. This project is proposed in two phases: 1) U-5813A: Asheboro Bypass to NC 49 in
Asheboro. Widen from two-lane to four-lane divided facility. Right-of-way and utilities proposed in
FY 2019 and construction in FY 2020. 2) U-5813B: NC 49 in Asheboro, reconstruct interchange —
coordinate with B-5863. Construction proposed in FY 2020.
Comprehensive Transportation Plan (Randolph County, 2012J — This Comprehensive Transportation Plan (CTP)
was initiated in 2006 to plan for the (ong-range multi-modal transportation needs of Randolph County and its cities
and towns through 2035. The plan includes the subject project, R-2536, as well as R-2220. R-2220 is proposed to
improve US 64 to an expressway from Davidson County to the proposed Asheboro Southern Bypass by widening
the existing facility from two to four lanes with median and improving US 64 to boulevard standards from the
proposed Asheboro Southern Bypass to US 220. Other improvements are proposed; however, they are not
currently funded or planned with a definite funding stream.
Comprehensive Transportation Plan (City of Asheboro, 2014J — This (ong-range plan identifies major
transportation improvement needs and develops (ong term solutions in the City of Asheboro through 2040. It is a
joint effort between the City of Asheboro, the NCDOT, and the Piedmont Triad Rural Planning Organization
(PTRPO), and has been adopted by the City, County Commissioners, PTRPO, and the NC Board of Transportation.
In addition to the subject project, the CTP also (ists other major recommendations for improvements. Those that
have or will receive funding are listed below.
• I-4407 — US 220/Future I-73/74, from south of NC 134/US 220 Business to north of SR 1462 (West Presnell
Street) in Asheboro. Safety improvements to bring the facility to interstate standards. This project is
currently under construction. The CTP (ists this project as a primary need.
• U-5743 — NC 42 from Dublin Road to US 64/NC 49 (Dixie Drive) in Asheboro. Widen to multi-lanes. Right-
of-way and utilities programmed for 2019, with construction in 2020.
City of Asheboro Comprehensive Pedestrian Transportation Plan (2008J — This plan provides a"broad vision and
more specific goals and strategies to improve the City's pedestrian transportation system." Pedestrian projects are
considered corridor projects and were prioritized and divided into small area plans. This was to ensure that critical
projects are funded and constructed first and other projects are phased in based on cost and feasibility. Two small
area plans that fall within the FLUSA are the "Asheboro High School, South Asheboro Middle School, and Memorial
Park" and "East Dixie Drive Corridor".
The Asheboro High School, South Asheboro Middle School, and Memorial Park Small Area Plan covers the area
north of US 64 and roughly extends to Lanier Avenue to the north and South Cox Street and Lee Street to the east
and west. The priority for this area is new sidewalks on the west side of South Park Street from Cooper Street to
West Walker Avenue and on Lanier Avenue from Park Street to Church Street. Based on aerial imagery survey, it
appears that sidewalk has been added to the west side of South Park Street from Cooper Street to West Walker
Avenue. Another priority is to repair and replace existing sidewalk on Park Street. Other projects identified in this
area include the intersection of Park Street and Walker Avenue. It is a primary crossing for middle and high school
students in the morning and afternoons. A safety island is recommended in the long-term.
STIP R-2536 FINAL sICE — Randolph County �

The East Dixie Drive Corridor Small Area Plan encompasses existing US 64 from NC 42 to I-73/74. The plan divides
the corridor into segments including: NC 42 to Dublin Road, Dublin Road to Cox Road, Cox Road to Fayetteville
Road/US 220 Business, and Fayetteville Street/US 220 Business to I-73/74. The top priority project is to add
sidewalks on both sides of US 64 from NC 42 to Dublin Road. The priority intersection improvement is at Park
Street and US 64. Other priority intersection projects along US 64 include the cross streets of S. Cox Road/Zoo
Parkway, Dublin Road/Browers Chapel Road, Cliff Road, and Arrow Wood Road.
Population Trends & Projections
Based on US Census data, Randolph County and the City of Asheboro have grown steadily over the past two
decades. According to the US Census Bureau, the population of Randolph County grew by 22.4 percent (2.1
percent annually) from 1990 to 2000, and slowed somewhat to 8.7 percent (0.8 percent annually) from 2000 to
2010. The City of Asheboro outpaced the County with a 32.5 percent population increase (2.9 percent annually)
between 1990 and 2000, and a 15.4 percent increase (1.4 percent annually) from 2000 to 2010. The City of
Asheboro's 2020 Land Development Plan (October 2009) indicates that Asheboro added almost 1,300 residents
between 2000 and 2004, which was primarily the result of in-migration and natural increase. The Randolph
County planner attributed the closing of several manufacturing facilities to the County's lower growth rate
between 2000 and 2010. The Asheboro planner indicated that the City's growth was scattered across the
jurisdiction, with some (arger residential developments concentrated mostly in west Asheboro (west of I-73/74)
and northeast Asheboro, as well as some outlying areas where both land and city services were available.
According to population projections provided by the North Carolina Office of State Budget and Management
(NCOSBM), the population in Randolph County grew at an annual rate of 0.6 percent between 2005 and 2015,
which was (ess than the state (1.5 percent) during the same time period. Randolph County's population is
expected to grow at a rate of 0.4 percent annually between 2015 and 2035. This decreasing growth rate is in (ine
with the projected trend for the slowing growth rate statewide between 2015 and 2035 (0.9 percent annually).
The Asheboro planner expects the population growth in the FLUSA to be higher than the county as a whole, given
its relative proximity to urban amenities.
Population growth rates are not anticipated to be affected considerably by the proposed project. The majority of
the residential growth is anticipated to be located north of US 64 and where municipal service are available, while
the southern part of the county is expected to remain mostly rural and rural residential, with growth occurring in
the areas that are targeted for commercial and employment center growth (i.e., around the new US 64 Asheboro
Bypass interchanges).
Job Trends & Projections
The North Carolina Department of Commerce annually ranks the State's 100 counties based on economic well-
being and assigns each a tier designation (Tier 1: Most distressed to Tier 3: Least distressed) to determine which
counties' eligible businesses qualify for larger tax credits. According to the North Carolina Department of
Commerce, Randolph County has been ranked in the Tier 2 category consecutively from 2007 to 2015.
According to the North Carolina Department of Commerce, as of the 3rd quarter of 2014, the (argest employers in
Randolph County were Randolph County Schools and Randolph Hospital, each with more than 1,000 employees.
Several manufacturing companies employing between 500 and 1,000 employees each are also some of the
county's (argest employers and include United Furniture Industries, Technimark Inc., Klaussner Furniture
Industries, Hughes Furniture Industries, and Energizer Battery Manufacturing.
Data from the North Carolina Department of Commerce - Division of Employment Security (DES) indicates that
Randolph County (ost jobs at an annual rate of 0.1 percent between 2004 and 2014. The DES produces (abor
projections for regional Workforce Development Boards, and Randolph County is included in the five-county
Regional Partnership WDB (Alamance, Montgomery, Moore, Orange, and Randolph Counties). Based on (abor
STIP R-2536 FINAL sICE — Randolph County

projections by the DES, the Regional Partnership WDB is expected to gain jobs at an annual rate of approximately
one percent through 2020. Job projections beyond the year 2020 were not available at the time of this
assessment. The Asheboro planner expects the employment growth rate in the FLUSA to be similar to that
projected by DES over the next 20 years, but also noted that one of the factors determining the level of growth
within the FLUSA is the availability of infrastructure needed to service employment centers.
Job growth rates may increase as a result of STIP Project R-2536, as the project would increase and provide a new
level of traffic exposure and access for properties in the FLUSA. As such, commercial development may become
attracted to the R-2536 project area, particularly around new interchanges, therefore potentially increasing the job
growth rate in the FLUSA. However, as noted by the Asheboro planner, many areas adjacent to the proposed Bypass
currently lack city water and sewer service, which may hinder new development.
Notable Environmental Features
Below is a description of both the notable natural and human environmental features located within the FLUSA.
The features in this section were identified using GIS data from NCDOT, Randolph County, NC One Map, NC
Division of Water Resources (NCDWR), US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), ESRI, relevant planning documents,
and interviews with (ocal planners. These features are shown geographically on Figure 2 in Appendix A.
Land use throughout the FLUSA is mostly rural, with the densest development located north of US 64. The US 64
corridor predominantly consists of commercial uses with interspersed institutional facilities. Industrial and
commercial uses are concentrated along US 220 Business north and south of US 64. The downtown Asheboro area
(north of US 64 and east of I-73/74) predominantly consists of commercial, industrial, and office uses along the
main arterials, with single and multi-family residential uses along minor streets. With the exception of the area
between I-73/74 and US 220 Business, the portion of the FLUSA south of US 64 is predominantly rural, consisting
of low and medium density residential uses and large vacant tracts. Residential areas generally consist of single-
family homes on individual tracts or within subdivisions.
Natural Environment Features —The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's (ist of protected species in Randolph County,
as of December 26, 2012, includes one plant and one animal (isted as Endangered. The status of "Endangered"
refers to a species that is in danger of extinction throughout all of a significant portion of its range. No species witr
the status of "Threatened" is currently listed in Randolph County. The two Endangered species listed are the
Schweinitz's sunflower (Helianthus schweinitziiJ and the Cape Fear shiner (Notropis mekistocholasJ. According to
the 2007 Record of Decision (ROD) for this project, impacts to federally (isted species habitat are not anticipated as
a result of the project as coordination will be maintained with all regulatory and resource agencies during final
design, permitting, right-of-way acquisition, and construction to ensure that avoidance, minimization, and
compensatory mitigation measures will be initiated. Furthermore, the Reevaluation of the Abbreviated Final
EnvironmentallmpactStatement (NCDOT, April 2015) notes that surveys for Schweinitz's sunflower were
completed in the project study area in September of 2011, 2013, and 2014. No populations of Schweinitz's
sunflower were discovered in the project study area. Additionally, a review of the North Carolina Natural Heritage
Program (NHP) database, conducted by NCDOT biologists in January 2014, concluded that there are no known
occurrences of the Cape Fear shiner within the project study area.
Based on GIS data, Natural Heritage Program Natural Areas (ocated within the FLUSA include the following:
NC Zoological Park Natural Areas (state significance) are owned by the NC State Department of
Environment and Natural Resources. The park contains over 1450 acres of high quality natural areas,
including a rare upland pool community and Piedmont Monodnock Forest.
Richland Creek Aquatic Habitat (state significance) contains a 400 acre area following Richland Creek
that contains many rare mussel species: creeper, Carolina creekshell, Brook floater, Elliptio spp.,
Atlantic pigtoe, yellow lamp mussel, eastern floater, Savannah lilliput, and Eastern creekshell. The
land adjacent to the publicly owned water is privately owned.
Back Creek Ravines (regional significance) is a part of the Caraway Creek Corridor, and is a sensitive
STIP R-2536 FINAL sICE — Randolph County

site due to two perennial streams that flow through the site and the mature, un-fragmented
hardwood forest of the slopes. This site is privately owned.
• Back Creek Mountain (regional significance), also part of Caraway Creek Corridor, contains a(arge
population of the rare Piedmont indigo-bush and a large un-fragmented forest along its ridgeline and
slopes.
• Cable Creek Headwaters (county significance) is one of 10 significant sites in the Caraway Creek
Corridor. The Cable Creek Headwaters site is a disjunct monadnock forest with fairly mature hardwoods. It
is located south of US 64 and west of the Asheboro City limits. The Bypass corridor crosses a considerable
portion of the site and Cable Creek as well. The area along the creek supports a mature Mesic
Mixed Hardwood Forest and the slopes support a Dry Oak-Hickory Forest.
• Harvey's Mountain (county significance) is located near the northern end of the Uwharrie National Forest
property. It forms a long ridgeline with two peaks between the north and south prongs of Richland Creek,
and part of it is within the Uwharrie National Forest. Harvey's Mountain supports a Dry Oak-Hickory
Forest and the Piedmont indigo-bush (Amorpha schwerinii) is found along the ridgeline.
The FLUSA is (ocated within the Yadkin-PeeDee and Cape Fear River Basins and contains numerous unnamed
tributaries and a total of 19 named streams and creeks that traverse the study area. The proposed US 64
Asheboro Bypass corridor crosses several unnamed tributaries and seven named streams within the FLUSA — Cable
Creek, Taylors Creek, Little River, Tantraugh Branch, Vestal Creek, Squirrel Creek, and Gabriels Creek. These
streams are classified by the NCDWR as Class C. Accordingly, they are designated for secondary recreation, fishing,
wildlife, fish consumption, aquatic life propagation, survival and maintenance of biological integrity, and
agriculture. Secondary recreation includes wading, boating, and other uses involving human body contact with
water where such activities take place in an infrequent, unorganized, or incidental manner. The NC 2014 Final
303(d) (ist of impaired waters identifies two water bodies within the FLUSA area as impaired — Haskett Creek and
Penwood Branch. Both water bodies are located in the northern portion of the FLUSA north of US 64.
There are no designated trout waters, anadromous fish waters or Primary Nursery Areas (PNA) present in the
FLUSA. In addition, no streams in the FLUSA have been designated by the US Army Corp of Engineers (USACE) as a
Navigable Water under Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbor Act.
NC One Map GIS data reveals that a class WS-II Yadkin Water Supply Watershed (WSW) is (ocated in the
northwestern portion of the FLUSA just west of the US 64/NC 49 split, and extends north of US 64. This WSW is
also a High Quality Outstanding Resource Water Zone. The critical section of this WSW is (ocated just south of
Cedar Fork Creek near the northern Asheboro municipal boundary, and the remaining portion of the WSW is
classified as protected from north of US 64 to just north of NC 49.
GIS data also indicates that two NCDENR EEP designated targeted (ocal watersheds (HU Code: 03040103050050,
03040104030010) are present in the western portion of the FLUSA. A targeted (ocal watershed is one that exhibits
both the need and opportunity for wetland, stream, and riparian buffer restoration, and receives priority for
planning and restoration project funds.
National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) wetlands are (ocated sparsely throughout the FLUSA along unnamed
tributaries as well as along Little River west of I-73/74, Tantraugh Branch near NC 159/Old Cox Road, and Squirrel
Creek just northeast of NC 53. Additionally, FEMA 100-year flood zones are scattered throughout the FLUSA and
are primarily concentrated along streams and creeks.
Uwharrie National Forest is a federally designated national forest region located primarily in Montgomery County,
but also extending into Randolph and Davidson counties. The approximately 51,000-acre Uwharrie National Forest
is part of the two million acres of public lands managed by the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission for
public hunting, trapping and fishing, and are designated as Game Lands. The National Forest is (ocated outside of
the FLUSA to the southwest, with the exception of a small portion that is located within the FLUSA just southwest
STIP R-2536 FINAL sICE — Randolph County 9

of the proposed Zoo Connector.
Human Environment Features - The project area is a popular tourist destination, as it is home to the North
Carolina Zoological Park. It has attracted between 725,000 and 750,000 visitors annually in recent years. A
planned expansion of the zoo, with the addition of a third continent — Asia — is expected to increase visitation to
over one million visitors annually. As of March 2015, the planned expansion has not occurred and there are no
plans for any other development near the zoo or in proximity to the Zoo Connector.
The City of Asheboro has three existing parks within the FLUSA — Asheboro Memorial Park, McCrary Park, and
Bicentennial Park. Asheboro Memorial Park is (ocated about 0.5 mile north of US 64 and just west of US 220
Business. This 10.6-acre park includes a playground, ball field, swimming pool, picnic shelters, tennis courts,
basketball courts, etc. McCrary Park (12.6 acres) is (ocated just north of NC 42 on the west side of I-73/74 and
includes lighted ball fields. This ball park is home of Asheboro High School, American Legion, and Copperheads
Baseball. Bicentennial Park is (ocated in downtown Asheboro just south of NC 42 and west of US 220 Business.
This park is approximately one acre and includes a pavilion, fountain, picnic tables, and a memory walk. Based on
the National Park Service's online database, Asheboro Memorial Park and the NC Zoo received funds from the Land
and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF), which therefore qualifies these parks as Section 6(f) Properties.
According to the Asheboro Comprehensive Pedestrian Transportation Plan (City of Asheboro, 2008) and as
previously noted, the Guy B. Teachey School and Zoo Greenways are proposed for inclusion within the FLUSA.
Both of these proposed greenways cross the proposed US 64 Asheboro Bypass study corridor. However, these
greenway projects are not currently funded. Additionally, the City of Asheboro Parks and Recreation
Comprehensive Master Plan (2004) notes public support for trails/greenways and recommends building five to
seven miles of greenways/urban trails/paths.
The City of Asheboro Parks and Recreation Comprehensive Master Plan also proposes new community and
neighborhood parks in different areas of the city. Several of these proposed facilities fall within the FLUSA and
include Southeast Community Park (C-1), which would be located in the general area of Richland Creek on the east
side of the Zoo Parkway. Community parks should have a combination of active and passive recreation facilities
that serves a 2.5 mile radius. This park should be 80 acres and include sports fields that could serve as a potential
(ocation for a"Multi-purpose Sports Field/Athletic Complex" as proposed in the recreation study/plan.
Neighborhood parks are proposed in areas that are not being served. The following four sites are proposed within
the FLUSA: Site N-2 is (ocated in East Asheboro near the Randolph Mall. Site N-3 is (ocated in Southeast Asheboro
near Vestal Creek and The Zoo Parkway. The land for this park has been purchased; however, the project has been
put on hold. Site N-4 is (ocated in Southwest Asheboro near Dixie Drive and Klaussner Furniture. An alternative
site for N-4 or a new Site N-5 is (ocated south of NC-49 near Sherwood Avenue and Lambert Drive. The site was
selected to accommodate growth in southwest Asheboro as needed. All proposed parks and greenways are
shown on the Parks and Recreation Comprehensive Master Plan map (ocated in Appendix G.
Most commercial businesses in the area are located along the existing US 64 corridor. The scale of businesses
along the corridor range from small "mom and pop" establishments and fast food restaurants to larger "big box"
chain stores that cover numerous acres. A(arge commercial node is (ocated along US 64 near the NC 42
intersection which includes the Randolph Mall and Walmart Supercenter. The Randolph-Asheboro YMCA is
(ocated on NC 42 just north of US 64.
South Asheboro Middle School and Asheboro High School are located on the north side of US 64 just west of US
220 Business. Additionally, Randolph Community College is (ocated approximately 1.5 miles south of US 64, just
east of I-73/74.
STIP R-2536 FINAL sICE — Randolph County 10

Asheboro Municipal Airport is (ocated in the southwest corner of the FLUSA. The airport consists of a 5,500-foot
runway and full-length taxiways. The City of Asheboro owns the airport and contracts with Cardinal Air for its
operations. According to the city's website;' the airport facility is a valuable tool for economic development,
serving a variety of local businesses and corporations."
ANALYTICAL SCREENING INFORMATION
Transportation Impact Causing Activities
Travel Time Savings — US 64 is classified by NCDOT as a principal arterial through Asheboro and has an average
annual daily traffic volume of approximately 32,000 vehicles through the city (as of 2013). The US 64 corridor is
the primary east-west corridor thought the City of Asheboro, and serves regional traffic commuting between
Charlotte and Raleigh. As noted in the US 64 CorridorStudy (NCDOT, May 2011), the corridor faces a range of
demonstrated problems, such as poor safety performance and compromised mobility due to intersection spillback
and extensive turning conflict points. There are numerous locations along the corridor that experience high levels
of delay and congestion, including intersections with Zoo Parkway and NC 42, which carry high volumes on all
approaches.
The existing US 64 corridor runs east-west through the FLUSA and includes 11 signalized intersections between the
US 220 Bypass and East Presnell Street. Some of these signalized intersections serve major roadway-to-roadway
connections, such as the junction of NC 42 and of Zoo Parkway, while others serve traffic entering and existing
developments including Lowes Foods, Wal-Mart, and Randolph Mall. Each signalized intersection presents an
opportunity for delay along the corridor.
The potential for long-term travel time savings associated with the project would benefit long distance/regional
travelers with destinations other than Asheboro who will bypass the business/commercial strip of Asheboro.
Other minor beneficiaries include those residents along NC 159, and the zoo itself. The Zoo will receive improved
access and residents along NC 159 will have easier access as traffic and congestion is reduced on NC 159. The
project would provide travelers an alternate route, and allow travel without stopping on the access-controlled
roadway. However, most local traffic is expected to remain on existing US 64, and most local north-south traffic
will not be affected other than moderate reduction in travel time on NC 159 as a result of the improved access to
the zoo. Local traffic remaining on existing US 64 may experience slight travel time savings as R-2536 is expected
to relieve some congestion on US 64 by removing (ong distance/regional traffic.
The (ength of the proposed US 64 Asheboro Bypass from the western interchange with US 64 to the eastern
interchange with US 64 is approximately 12.5 miles, while the (ength along existing US 64 between these same
points is approximately 7.2 miles. However, due to the controlled access and high speed (65 miles per hour) of
the proposed bypass facility, commuters and regional travelers are expected to experience about six to nine
minutes of travel time savings by using the new proposed US 64 Asheboro Bypass.
Exposure to Traffic—The proposed project will likely increase the desirability for commercial and employment
center development at or around the proposed interchanges due to exposure to increased traffic volumes as a
result of the project.
Change in Travel Patterns — Existing US 64 is used by both local residents and travelers through the area.
However, results of an origin-destination survey addressed in the DEIS concludes that a large portion of the
travelers using the US 64 corridor are through travelers. Through or long-distance travelers are the primary
beneficiaries of the US 64 Asheboro Bypass. Long distance or through travelers will not experience traffic delays
from in-town traffic, but will bypass the congestion in the main commercial strip of Asheboro.
Commuting data and workforce statistics for Randolph County from the 2006-2010 US Census American
Community Survey show that the majority of out-commuters (74 percent) are bound for Guilford County, and
STIP R-2536 FINAL sICE — Randolph County 11

would not (ikely utilize the US 64 Asheboro Bypass. Commuters traveling to Guilford County would use I-73/74,
US 220 Business, NC 42, and NC 49, as they are the main commuter routes to points north. Census data indicates
that approximately 57 percent of the county's total commuters commute within Randolph County, and Asheboro's
2020 Land Development Plan states that 53 percent of workers who reside in Asheboro also work in Asheboro.
The primary beneficiaries of this project appear to be long-distance travelers with destinations other than
Asheboro who will bypass the business/commercial strip of Asheboro.
Change in Access — STI P Project R-2536 will provide new access points to existing US 64 at the proposed east and
west interchanges, as well as in southern Asheboro at the proposed interchange with NC 49, I-73/74, NC 159/Zoo
Connector, and NC 42. The combination of exposure to increased traffic volumes and increased access near
proposed interchanges will likely increase the desirability for commercial and employment center development in
these areas.
Transportation/Land Use Node—The primary purpose of STIP Project R-2536 is to improve traffic flow and
enhance regional through traffic on the US 64 intrastate corridor by providing an alternative to existing US 64
through Asheboro. Therefore, regional and commuter traffic will be diverted to the new US 64 Asheboro Bypass
after construction, which may potentially increase development pressure in the immediate vicinity of the new
interchanges with the Bypass and result in the creation of land use nodes around the interchanges due to
increased/new accessibility.
The City of Asheboro's 2020 Land Development Plan proposes new employment center (and uses at the proposed
Bypass interchanges with US 64 East, NC 49, I-74/I-74, and US 64 West, and a commercial center at the
interchange with NC 42. Prior to 2005, the City annexed (and adjacent to the NC 49 corridor in a westerly
direction, and sewer (ines extend nearly to the area of the proposed NC 49 interchange with the Bypass. Industrial
growth has occurred along the NC 49, US 220 Business, and the I-73/74 corridors. The proposed project will
support existing employment and commercial center development patterns along NC 49 and I-73/74 as well as
proposed future land uses as described in the Development Regulations section below.
The proposed land uses for the employment centers, along with the extension of sewer service to these
interchanges, will contribute to the increased potential for future development. This land use trend is already
evident along NC 49 and I-73/74 corridors. The new bypass is not anticipated to alter the existing patterns of (and
use in most of the remaining project study area, other than the proposed interchanges that will attract and
concentrate commercial and industrial uses into planned employment centers due to new accessibility.
Land use and growth policies of both jurisdictions stress the need to direct commercial, industrial, and major
residential development into growth centers accessible to public infrastructure.
Water & Sewer Service in the Area
Residents and businesses throughout the FLUSA receive water and sewer service from the City of Asheboro. In
addition, Seagrove/Ulah Metropolitan Water District (SUWD) also provides water service to a small portion of the
FLUSA, which purchases water from the City of Asheboro. The City currently has a water treatment plant capacity
of 12.0 million gallons per day (MGD), and 4.18 MGD are currently being used. With an average of over 7 MGD in
excess water treatment capacity, the city can continue to provide water service to existing customers and
accommodate a considerable amount of new development. The City's Water Resources Director expects the
water system to reach full capacity in 50 or more years. The existing water distribution system serves most of the
area within the city's existing municipal (imits (see map in Appendix C). The city currently shares in approximately
half of the cost of providing water lines along existing roads within or near city limits. The city's Water Resources
Director noted that there are no current plans to extend water service or provide additional treatment plant
capacity.
STIP R-2536 FINAL sICE — Randolph County 12

SUWD has four water (ines within the FLUSA — along US 220 Business, Mack Road, Tall Pine Street, and Hopewell
Friends Road. The (ine along Mack Road ties in at Southmont Road along the east side. Along US 220 Business, the
SUWD water line splits off near the Klaussner Furniture plant, which is served by the City of Asheboro, and
continues along Cedar Grove Road to the water tank on Crestview Church Road. The (ine along Hopewell Friends
Road (along the southwestern FLUSA boundary) end prior to reaching the Asheboro Municipal Airport. The SUWD
serves approximately 900 residents and businesses throughout its system, and purchases approximately 25 million
gallons of water per month (83,000 gallons per day).
The city currently has a wastewater treatment plant capacity of 9.0 MGD, and 3.64 MGD are currently being used.
With an average of about 5.0 MGD in excess wastewater treatment capacity, the city can continue to provide
sewer service to existing customers, while accommodating a considerable amount of new development. The
existing sewer collection system serves most of the area within the city's existing municipal limits and flows
through several areas outside city (imits (see map in Appendix C). The Asheboro 2020 Land Development Plan
states that the city currently shares in approximately half of the cost of extending sewer lines within or near city
limits. Developers are generally discouraged from installing pump stations, due to potential city liability and daily
inspections required by the state. Pump stations are, however, allowed and maintained by the city when land
development projects contain 50 or more (ots, or are expected to produce a minimum of 50,000 GPD of
wastewater. The cost of installing a pump station is usually not shared by the city unless the pump is oversized to
meet an explicit public purpose. The city's Water Resources Director noted that there are no current plans to
extend sewer service or provide additional wastewater treatment plant capacity.
As shown on the maps in Appendix C, sewer service within the FLUSA is predominantly (imited to areas within
Asheboro's city (imits, but extends into Asheboro's southern ETJ between US 220 Business and NC 159 along Vestal
Creek. Municipal water service is also predominantly limited to areas within the city's limits, but extends south to
the ETJ (imits along US 220 Business and NC 159/Old Cox Road/Zoo Parkway.
Development Regulations
The majority of the land within the FLUSA is within the city of Asheboro or its extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ). The
remainder of the FLUSA is within Randolph County and also includes Uwharrie National Forest and the NC Zoo.
City of Asheboro —The Asheboro 2020 Land Development Plan (updated October 2009) serves two purposes, "To
guide and change the direction of future land development [and] to provide all stakeholders with tools to make
land development decisions." This plan notes that US 64 west from NC 49 is likely to be over capacity by the year
2025 and therefore identifies STIP Project R-2536 as a"priority request" transportation project. This plan,
originally written in 2000, was intended to move away from the reactionary growth of the three previous land
development plans and provide a more strategic, proactive vision for community growth over time. The city has
more than enough available land to accommodate any projected growth needs well into the future.
The Asheboro 2020 Land Development Plan (updated October 2009) states that based on (and development trends
over the past 20 years, most future residential developments are likely to be stand-alone, single-use subdivisions,
on individual wells and septic tanks. Most subdivisions are likely to have only one means of ingress and egress,
and little connection to one another. Commercial strip development is likely to continue along major
thoroughfares and around key intersections and interchanges. Increased pressure for non-residential land
development is likely around the east, southeast, and southwest fringes of the city, as the proposed Bypass is
constructed. However, (and use designations are in place along the proposed Bypass corridor that represent
recommended nodal land development patterns and relationships among various land uses. Based on the
Proposed Land Use Map included in the 2020 Land Development Plan, Employment Center (and uses are proposed
at the future Bypass interchanges with US 64 east, NC 49, I-73/74, and US 64 west. Conservation Residential (and
uses are designated in the area surrounding the proposed Bypass between US 220 Business and NC 159 in order to
maintain rural character of the area surrounding the Zoo. Commercial land uses, surrounded by a mixture of
Urban Residential, Neighborhood Residential, and Conservation Residential uses are proposed near the proposed
STIP R-2536 FINAL sICE — Randolph County 13

Bypass interchange with NC 42. The areas immediately adjacent to the proposed Bypass between interchanges are
predominantly proposed as Neighborhood Residential, Suburban Residential, and Conservation Residential uses.
The Asheboro 2020 Land Development Plan identifies small area plans for sections of the city, including the ETJ
surrounding the city, shown in Appendix D. Below are descriptions for each small area (ocated within the FLUSA.
East - The majority of this planning area is (ocated within the FLUSA. The City of Asheboro's Land Use Plan
identifies much of this area as vacant or underutilized land. A significant portion of this planning area is designated
by the NC Department of Commerce as a State Development Zone, and is intended to stimulate new investment
and job creation in economically distressed areas. Some of the key issues for this area include under-utilization of
the East Presnell Street extension to US 64, the interchange (ocation at US 64, and development pressure for
expansion along the East Dixie Drive commercial corridor. The city and county (and use designations for primary
and secondary growth assume that urban services will be available to these areas.
South East - This planning area is located entirely within the FLUSA and contains nearly one-half of the US 64
Bypass corridor. It consists of predominately rural, single-family residential land uses and substantial areas of
vacant land. The NC Zoo is located on the southern limits of the planning area boundary. Rural residential land uses
are preserved according to an agreement between the county and the Zoological Park that establishes a buffer
area around the zoo. Commercial (and uses are designated at the interchange between US 64 and NC 42.
Conservation residential (and uses are designated in the area surrounding the planned US 64 Bypass interchange
leading to the NC Zoo. A network of future greenway corridors along various streams and creeks is planned within
this area.
South West — This planning area extends west from I-73/74 and south of existing US 64 to the edge of the US 64
Bypass corridor. This planning area is mostly rural and suburban residential, with a substantial amount of vacant
(and. Commercial and Industrial uses are designated along the NC 49, US 64, and I-73/74 highway corridors
within the planning area to accommodate existing and limited future commercial land development.
Employment Centers are designated at each of the three planned major interchanges along the proposed US 64
Asheboro Bypass within this planning area and allow a mixture of commercial, office, institutional, and industrial
land development. A Neighborhood Center surrounded by a mix of residential uses is designated between the
proposed interchanges with NC 49 and I-73/74. A Village Center, surrounded by a mixture of residential uses, is
designated between the NC 49 and I-73/74 interchanges around the intersection of Mack Road and Danny Bell
Road.
Central —This planning area includes a wide variety of land uses, and contains the city's historic core and central
business district. There is a limited amount of vacant land, most of which is small parcels. The greatest
development opportunities with this planning area include revitalization of the City Center, and new development
in areas south of US 64/Dixie Drive.
The city is currently in the process of updating the Land Development Plan and particular emphasis is focused on
updating the proposed (and use map. The map and plan are expected to be complete in September 2015.
The two primary tools that the city uses to regulate land development are zoning and subdivision regulations,
which are included in the City's Code of Regulations. Review of the Zoning Map (2014) shows that, with the
exception of the Limited Industrial District (13), all of the city's zoning types are within the FLUSA. This also
includes some conditional and special use zoning overlay districts, such as the Watershed Overlay District and the
US 220 Bypass Overlay Zone. Other notable districts include the Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance and the
Municipal Airport Overlay District. In the Watershed Overlay District, the City of Asheboro requires a minimum
fifty-foot vegetative buffer along all perennial streams. A 100-foot buffer is required around all reservoirs;
however, most of this land is publicly owned and therefore not available for development. The UT to Cedar Creek
watershed is in the northwest corner of the FLUSA and part of this district.
STIP R-2536 FINAL sICE — Randolph County 14

Randolph County—The Randolph County Growth Management Plan (2009) is a(ong-range guide to assist in public
policy decisions concerning the overall growth and development of the county. The predominant land use by
zoning district is residential agricultural (RA). This zone makes up approximately 78 percent of the county,
according to the plan. The next (argest district is municipal, approximately 14 percent. Primary Growth Areas for
the county within the FLUSA are centered around major arterial roads including US 64, NC 49, and US 220, and
along the south side of Asheboro's ETJ adjacent to the proposed US 64 Asheboro Bypass corridor. The Randolph
County Growth Management Areas map is (ocated in Appendix E. According to the Plan, a Primary Growth Area
includes areas likely to have access to urban infrastructure, such as water and sewer, within the foreseeable future
and is of predominately mixed use that will include residential, commercial and industrial development. Primary
Growth Areas are prime sites for office, commercial and industrial locations. Secondary Growth Areas extend out
from the Primary Growth Areas. Transitional residential development is predominant in Secondary Growth Areas
with major subdivisions scattered between agricultural and commercial land use patterns. Both public water and
sewer infrastructure access is unlikely within the immediate future. The primary objective of the Growth
Management Plan is to promote and encourage growth that protects the water supply.
To protect the water supply and further direct growth, the county adopted a Unified Development Ordinance
(UDO), as amended in 2012. This ordinance includes the Zoning, Subdivision, Watershed Protection, and the Flood
Damage Prevention Ordinances. The UDO encourages the use of natural buffers to help maintain the rural
character of the county. Subdivisions that have perennial streams within their boundaries must maintain a 50-foot
buffer on both sides of the stream. In addition, the UDO established Watershed Overlay Districts with additional
protections. The UT to Cedar Creek is a WS II, Critical Area watershed in the northwest quadrant of the FLUSA. A
minimum 50-foot undisturbed buffer is required for all water bodies within the watershed.
As noted in the county's UDO, industrial development within a Rural Growth Area and in rare instances Secondary
Growth Area as reflected in the Growth Management Plan must adhere to regulations outlined for the Rural
Industrial Overlay District, which is intended to lessen adverse impact upon the general growth characteristics
anticipated by the Growth Management Plan. According to the UDO, industrial development in a Rural Industrial
Overlay District is not allowed within 50-feet of a perennial stream or within Class A Flood Zones. Additionally, site
plans must be submitted to reduce stormwater impact by designing new development in a manner that minimizes
concentrated stormwater flows using vegetated buffer areas.
Randolph County has a Voluntary Agricultural District (VAD) program and an associated ordinance. As shown on
Figure 2 in Appendix A, there are a few VAD properties (ocated within the FLUSA. As stated in the VAD ordinance,
a public hearing is required prior to formally initiating any action to condemn a qualifying VAD property.
The Uwharrie National Forest that falls within the FLUSA is outside of the larger forest area and is designated as
general forest in the US Forest Service Proposed Forest Plan Map (June 2011). The forest is managed under the
Uwharrie National Forest Land and Resource ManagementPlan (May 2012).
Zoning - The City of Asheboro and Randolph County both have zoning jurisdictions within the FLUSA. In 2013
Asheboro relinquished part of its extra-territorial jurisdiction back to the county. This reduced the city's footprint
by approximately 12,000 acres (Courier-Tribune, February 18, 2013). The city's zoning, to the south of US 64, is
predominantly residential along NC 159. Between I-73/74/US 220 and US 220 Business, the zoning is industrial
and commercial. Along US 64 and NC 49, the zoning is for commercial uses. North of US 64, the zoning is primarily
residential with varying lot sizes. There is some zoning for commercial or office/institutional along US 220 Business
and other major roads. Light industrial use is zoned along Salisbury Street.
The majority of Randolph County zoning within the FLUSA, south of the proposed bypass, is for Residential
Agriculture. The area that includes the NC Zoo is a First Environmental District. The area of the county that was
STIP R-2536 FINAL sICE — Randolph County 15

returned from Asheboro is predominantly residential, with pockets of industrial. There is one Neighborhood
Mixed Use area along US 220 Business near the proposed US 64 Asheboro Bypass.

There are 42,108 acres of (and contained within the FLUSA. Approximately 2,577 acres (6.1 percent) are covered
by the road network and existing rights-of-way. Approximately 1,893 acres (4.5 percent) are covered by streams
and creeks (including buffers established through local ordinances), surface waters, and NWI wetlands.
Approximately 1,989 acres (4.7 percent) are protected from development activities (i.e., game (ands/national
forest and NC Zoo).
It was initially assumed that any parcel without a structure, with a structure valued at less than $10,000, or with a
structure on land in excess of ten acres, is considered available for development. Any parcels other than those
listed above were assumed to be "developed," and therefore not available. Developed land is approximately
9,292 acres (22.1 percent. After subtracting these areas from the total (and area, there are approximately
26,389 acres in the FLUSA (or 62.7 percent of the FLUSA) that is considered available for development.
Market for Development
The City of Asheboro and Randolph County planning directors as well as the Piedmont Triad Regional Council were
consulted to identify specific transportation and development projects in the FLUSA (interview records are in
Appendix B).
Current Development Pressures
As previously noted, US Census data indicates that the City of Asheboro's population increased by 15.4 percent
between 2000 and 2010, whereas the county increase by 8.7 percent during the same time period. According to
the Asheboro planner, areas of higher growth tended to be in outlying areas where both land and city services
were available and where employment, shopping, and cultural opportunities were accessible. Growth consisting
of smaller residential developments was scattered across the jurisdiction, while some higher growth was
concentrated in western Asheboro, west of I-73/74. Growth in western Asheboro includes several multi-family
townhome and apartment developments — Olde Towne Village (57 approved (ots), Sherwood Oaks Townhomes
(54 units), and West Point Luxury Apartments (216 units). Other (arge residential developments are (ocated in the
northeastern quadrant of Asheboro's jurisdiction, which include Heathwood Acres (161 (ots) and Windsor Park
North (93 lots). The Randolph County planner noted that the closing of several manufacturing facilities was the
primary reason for the county's lower growth rate.
The Asheboro planner noted that Springwood Townhomes is the only major residential development currently
planned within the city's portion of the FLUSA. This multi-family residential development will consist of 24 lots and
will be (ocated on Springwood Road off of US 220 Business (approximately one mile south of US 64 and east of I-
73/74). The Randolph County planner is not aware of any planned residential developments in the county's
portion of the FLUSA.
Yogi Bear Jellystone Park Camp-Resort is currently under construction within the FLUSA on Crestview Church Road
southwest of NC 159/Zoo Parkway. The park is being constructed on an approximately 98-acre tract and is
expected to open in the spring/summer of 2016. The family-oriented campground plans to be open year round
and will be made up of mostly RV sites, along with tent sites and cabins. In addition, plans include a swimming
pool, fishing pond, mini-golf, and more.
The Asheboro planner indicated that the city is currently considering a potential development within the city's
jurisdiction. This potential development would include extending New Century Drive — which currently serves as
access to the Randolph County administration building and Randolph County Jail — to Veterans Loop Road, and
developing an industrial park/employment center at this location. This area is located just over one mile south of
US 64, in between I-73/74 and US 220 Business.
STIP R-2536 FINAL sICE — Randolph County 16

As noted by the local planners, the only redevelopment that has occurred within the FLUSA was primarily within
Asheboro's urban core. This redevelopment included the conversion of former manufacturing facilities to multi-
family residential dwelling units.
In the time period between 2005 and the present, the Asheboro planner stated that the city's residential,
commercial, and industrial markets experienced the most rapid growth in the first few years during that period.
The greatest impact of the economic recession that occurred in the late 2000s has been on new residential
development, while some development activities (such as medical uses) have seen robust growth in the local
market, even during the height of the recession. The commercial and industrial markets, while not seeing the level
of growth of the mid 2000s before the recession, have been relatively steady, with moderate growth. The US 64
(Dixie Drive) corridor, downtown Asheboro area, and several other locations scattered throughout the city's
jurisdiction have seen moderate commercial activity in the last 10 years. Several examples of industrial
development include expansions of Malt O Meal and Technimark in the northern portion of Asheboro and
industrial development (i.e., PEMMCO Manufacturing) along Veterans Loop Road in southern Asheboro near the
proposed interchange of the proposed US 64 Asheboro Bypass and I-73/74. It was noted that the city has a stable
political climate and a positive local commitment towards balanced growth in general. However, the county's
current residential, commercial, and industrial markets are not particularly strong, but were characterized as
stable.
Development Market Assumptions
As noted above, growth is occurring and continues to occur within the FLUSA. There is expected to be a slight
increase in jobs in the region (approximately one percent annually) between 2010 and 2020, and population
projections indicate that the county's population is expected to increase slightly (0.4 percent annually) between
2015 and 2035. Local planners expect that the annual job growth rate in the FLUSA will be consistent with the DES
projection over the next 20 years, given recent development trends within the county. Furthermore, the Asheboro
planner expects the population growth rate in the FLUSA to be consistent with or higher than the county as a
whole due to the relative proximity of urban amenities.
Land use and growth policies of both jurisdictions stress the need to direct commercial, industrial, and major
residential development into growth centers accessible to public infrastructure. However, much of the immediate
area adjacent to the proposed US 64 Asheboro Bypass is outside of the city's ETJ and (acks city water and sewer
services, which is currently a development constraint in this area. Extending city services to these areas could be
very costly, which is one of the reasons that the City of Asheboro relinquished a portion of its ETJ to Randolph
County in 2013. Additional development constraints in the FLUSA include the current economic state as well as
severe soil limitations in certain locations, which affect the ability to locate septic systems, areas of steep
topography, and some areas within a flood hazard area. Physical development constraints in the Asheboro area
are identified on the map in Appendix F.
INDIRECT SCREENING MATRIX
Based on the existing conditions information presented in the previous sections, the potential for indirect effects
on local land use as a result of the R-2536 project was assessed. The following section presents the method and
results of the indirect effects screening matrix.
Methodology
The indirect and cumulative effects (ICE) impact categories (isted on the Indirect Screening Matrix (Table 1)
represent a set of variables that have been shown to influence land development decisions in numerous areas
statewide and nationally. Each impact variable in the ICE screening matrix has been assessed individually in a
manner that is exclusive of all other impact variables. The information used to rate the level of concern for each
impact variable, from a high concern for potential indirect effects as a result of the R-2536 project, to less concern
for potential indirect effects as a result of the project, has been documented in detail in the Base Screening
STIP R-2536 FINAL sICE — Randolph County 1 �

Information and Analytical Screening Information sections of this report. Results are then tabulated for the whole
table — for all impact variables — to determine the overall potential for indirect effects as a result of the proposed
US 64 Asheboro Bypass project.
Matrix Results
Table 1 shows the results of the indirect effects screening matrix for STIP Project R-2536. Based on information
gathered and interviews with local officials, the categories in the screening matrix indicate an overall moderately
high level of concern for indirect and cumulative effects as a result of STIP Project R-2536. Based on the results of
the Indirect Effects Screening Matrix, the conclusion of this report is "Likely Indirect Scenario Assessment."
A summary of ratings for the level of concern for each potential ICE impact variable, as they relate to the proposed
R-2536 project, is provided below:

Scope of Project - The scope of the R-2536 project includes a freeway facility on new (ocation that will bypass the
City of Asheboro to the south. The proposed US 64 Asheboro Bypass will be a 13.7-mile-long four-lane, median-
divided road with full control of access and six interchanges. The project also includes a new connector road from
the proposed US 64 Asheboro Bypass to the North Carolina Zoological Park. Construction of a new (ocation
freeway bypass facility constitutes a new project of notable scope. Therefore, this category was rated high.
Change in Travel Time - The new bypass facility will provide new access points in southern Asheboro. The
potential for long-term travel time savings associated with the project would benefit long-distance/regional
travelers with destinations other than Asheboro who will bypass the business/commercial strip of Asheboro.
Other minor beneficiaries include those residents along NC 159, and the Zoo itself. The project would provide
travelers an alternate route, and allow travel without stopping on the access controlled roadway. Although most
(ocal traffic is expected to remain on existing US 64, travelers on existing US 64 may experience slight travel time
savings as R-2536 is expected to relieve some congestion on US 64 by removing (ong-distance/regional traffic. The
STIP R-2536 FINAL sICE — Randolph County 1 g

(ength of the proposed US 64 Asheboro Bypass from the western interchange with US 64 to the eastern
interchange with US 64 is approximately 12.5 miles, while the (ength along existing US 64 between these same
points is approximately 7.2 miles. However, due to the controlled access and high speed (65 miles per hour) of
the proposed bypass facility, commuters and regional travelers are expected to experience about six to nine
minutes of travel time savings by using the new proposed US 64 Asheboro Bypass. Therefore, the level of concern
for this impact variable was rated at the moderately high level.
Forecasted Population Growth - According to population projections provided by the NCOSBM, the population of
Randolph County is expected to increase at an annual rate of 0.4 percent through 2035. The Asheboro planner
expects the population growth rate in the FLUSA to be consistent with or higher than the county as a whole due to
the relative proximity of urban amenities. Population growth rates are not anticipated to be affected considerably
by the proposed project. The majority of the residential growth is anticipated to be located north of US 64 and
where municipal services are available, while the southern part of the county is expected to remain mostly rural
and rural residential, with growth occurring in the areas that are targeted for commercial and employment centers
(i.e., around the new US 64 Asheboro Bypass interchanges). Incorporating these interpretations, the (evel of
concern for this impact variable was rated at the moderately low level.
Forecasted Employment Growth - In accordance with NCDOT guidance on assessing projected employment
growth, a growth rate of one to two percent is generally considered to be moderate, and a growth rate that is
greater than three percent annually is considered to be high. The DES projects a 1.0 percent annual increase in
jobs between 2010 and 2020 in the five-county Regional Partnership Workforce Development Board (WDB). Job
projections beyond the year 2020 were not available at the time of this assessment. Local planners expect that the
annual job growth rate in the FLUSA will be consistent with the DES projection over the next 20 years, given recent
development trends within the county. Although the proposed Bypass may attract new employment centers, one
of the many factors determining the level of growth within the FLUSA is the availability of city water and sewer
service, which are currently lacking in many areas around the proposed Bypass. Furthermore, industrial
development has already occurred along NC 49, I-73/74, and US 220 business south of existing US 64 without the
construction of STIP Project R-2536. The forecasted employment growth rate was thus rated at the moderate (evel
of concern.
Available Land - It is estimated that approximately 26,389 acres of (and within the FLUSA (63 percent) are available
for development. As such, the level of concern for this impact variable was rated at the high level.
Water & SewerAvailability - Water and sewer service is predominantly limited to areas within Asheboro's city
limits, and therefore, much of the area adjacent to the proposed US 64 Asheboro Bypass currently lacks city water
and sewer services. The Asheboro planner noted that expansion of sewer and water services in this area could be
very costly. Additionally, extensions of these lines to serve new areas are constructed primarily by developers
through partnerships with municipal governments. Although the county's 2009 Growth Management Plan
identifies areas adjacent to major arterials (including the proposed US 64 Asheboro Bypass) as Primary Growth
Areas that will "likely have access to urban infrastructure, such as water and sewer, within the foreseeable future,"
there are no current plans to extend water or sewer service or provide additional treatment capacity within the
FLUSA. While there are no immediate plans to expand service to the southern portion of the FLUSA in proximity to
the proposed US 64 Asheboro Bypass, city and county (and use plans are cognizant of the potential future growth
in their respective jurisdictions—most notably in anticipation of the proposed Bypass and its associated
interchanges. Based on the indication of local plans to extend service in the future, the overall level of concern for
this impact variable was rated at the moderate level.
Market for Development–As noted by local planners, recent development in the FLUSA has mostly occurred
within Asheboro's city limits, including west Asheboro and north of existing US 64. While the residential,
commercial, and industrial markets within Asheboro's jurisdiction have been relatively steady with moderate
growth, the county's markets have not been particularly strong. It is expected that the new Bypass would increase
STIP R-2536 FINAL sICE – Randolph County 19

development pressures in the southern portion of the FLUSA and increase development opportunities for
commercial and industrial uses, particularly around the new interchanges with the proposed Bypass, due to the
new/increased exposure to traffic at these locations. As noted in local land use plans, Asheboro and Randolph
County have planned for future development at the new bypass interchanges. Furthermore, the area immediately
adjacent to the Bypass is (ocated within a Primary Growth Area in the county's 2009 Growth Management Plan.
However, industrial development has already occurred along NC 49 and US 220 south of existing US 64 without the
construction of STIP Project R-2536. It is also important to note that municipal water and sewer services are
currently limited to Asheboro's city limits and are not currently available in much of the area immediately
surrounding the proposed US 64 Asheboro Bypass, which is a major constraint to development. Although the
proposed Bypass is expected to increase development opportunities and pressures in the southern portion of the
FLUSA, future water and sewer service extensions will be the ultimate driving force behind future development in
the area. Based on these variables, the level of concern for this impact variable as a result of STIP Project R-2536
was rated at the moderate level.
Public Policy — As discussed, growth management strategies are in place in Asheboro and Randolph County in the
form of the City of Asheboro Code of Ordinances and Randolph County Unified Development Ordinance, which
both include zoning and development regulations, as well as the Asheboro 2020 Land Development Plan and
Randolph County 2009 Growth Management Plan. Based upon the restrictions and assumptions in the plans, the
City of Asheboro and Randolph County have development regulations in place to manage growth. As such, the
level of concern for local growth management was rated at the moderately low level.
Notable Environmental Features — Several environmental features are located within or adjacent to the FLUSA,
including streams (including two water bodies that are (isted on NCDWR's 2014 (ist of 303(d) impaired water
bodies: Haskett Creek and Penwood Branch), critical and protected areas of a WS-II Yakdin WSW, NWI wetlands,
NCDENR EEP designated targeted (ocal watersheds, Uwharrie National Forest, VAD properties, and Natural
Heritage Program natural areas. Land use throughout the FLUSA is mostly rural residential, with more dense
commercial development (ocated along and north of US 64. The proposed US 64 Asheboro Bypass corridor crosses
several unnamed tributaries and seven named streams. NWI wetlands are (ocated sparsely throughout the FLUSA
along unnamed tributaries as well as along Little River, Tantraugh Branch, and Squirrel Creek. A small portion of
the Uwharrie National Forest is (ocated in the FLUSA just southwest of the proposed Zoo Connector, and is also
designated as Game Lands. There are adopted ordinances and regulations (i.e., City of Asheboro Code of
Regulations and Randolph County UDO) to help mitigate potential water quality effects due to increased
impervious surface coverage and increased water runoff. These ordinances and regulations include development
restrictions such as zoning, stream buffer regulations, stormwater runoff policies, watershed protection
regulations, and floodplain development regulations. The county government currently has a fair level of control
over stormwater runoff by way of strong controls over development, and protection of water quality, for both
surface and ground water, is recognized as a goal of land use controls. A minimum 50-foot undisturbed buffer is
required on all sides of surface waters for all development activities occurring in the UT to Cedar Creek Watershed
located within the FLUSA. Additionally, Randolph County requires a 50-foot buffer on perennial streams located
within any new subdivision development. As a result of these factors, the level of concern for this impact variable
was rated at the moderate level.
INDIRECT LAND USE DEVELOPMENT SCENARIOS
Probable Development Scenarios
To qualitatively assess the type of development that could occur in the FLUSA both with and without the project,
several sub-areas have been evaluated. Current development pressure, existing development regulations,
proposed future land uses, proximity to transportation infrastructure, availability of water and sewer service,
availability of land and proximity to population and employment centers are all variables that influence the pattern
and intensity of development in any particular location.
STIP R-2536 FINAL sICE — Randolph County 20

A Probable Development Area (PDA) represents a sub-group of properties that relate geographically and are
influenced by the same characteristics or factors, and in which land use patterns may be indirectly affected by
construction of the proposed project. Six PDAs have been identified within the R-2536 FLUSA (see Figure 3 in
Appendix A). The type of development that may occur within each PDA is identified below.
PDA 1: US 64/NC 49 and US 64 Asheboro Bypass Interchange Area (Eastern Terminus)
Existing Conditions:
This sub-area is (ocated at the proposed eastern terminus of US 64/NC 49 and US 64 Bypass and
encompasses approximately 2,090 acres (Figure 3a). This sub-area is roughly bounded by Iron Mountain
Road (SR 2605) and Trogdon Pond Road (SR 2221) to the east, parcel boundaries and the FLUSA boundary
to the north and west, and Luck Rd (SR 2604), parcel boundaries, and Woodridge and Woodridge Creeks
neighborhoods to the south. The transportation network in this PDA is limited to secondary roads and
local, neighborhood streets. Existing land use consists primarily of large tracts of forested land and a few
areas of farmland. Also present are scattered single-family residential parcels and subdivisions.
Immediately north of the proposed interchange is a Duke Energy sub-station. Water and sewer is
obtained through wells and septic systems. According to Randolph County's 2009 Growth Management
Plan, the area adjacent to the existing US 64 corridor is a Primary Growth Area. The area outside of this
corridor is considered by the Plan as a Secondary Growth Area and includes the majority of PDA 1. In
terms of growth management and predictability for land uses, a Primary Growth Area is expected to have
spill-over growth from Asheboro including its infrastructure network. Randolph County and the City of
Asheboro will work together to prevent incompatible land uses and ensure growth objectives are
consistent. The Plan states that the Secondary Growth Area is likely to be of inedium density, not likely to
have water/sewer infrastructure within the foreseeable future, has land available for development, and
contains some residential development. Also in the Secondary Growth Area, the Plan indicates that
additional development is expected to come in the form of continued residential development, though
other uses are not restricted. This area, like most of the county, is zoned as Residential Agricultural. This
district is designed for low-density residential developments and subdivisions, while maintaining the rural
character of the county.
No-Build Scenario:
In the No-Build scenario, Phase 4 of the Woodridge Creeks subdivision will likely be built next. The
majority of land in this PDA would likely continue to develop as low-density single-family residential.
Compared to the Build Scenario, development would likely include less dense uses that could encompass
a larger land area.
Build DevelopmentScenario:
In the Build Scenario, Phase 4 of the Woodridge Creeks subdivision will likely be built next. If the area
were re-zoned, the construction of the bypass may induce highway commercial development around the
interchange on US 64/NC 49 since the bypass is full control of access. However, in the absence of re-
zoning, this development would likely remain single-family in character and of low density.
PDA 2: NC 42 and US 64 Asheboro Bypass Interchange Area
Existing Conditions:
This sub-area is centered on the proposed US 64 Asheboro Bypass interchange with NC 42 and
encompasses approximately 649 acres of (and (Figure 3b). The sub-area is roughly bound by parcels
around the proposed interchange as well as the Brownstone Hills subdivision. Existing land use in the
area is predominantly forested, with pockets of residential and agricultural use. The transportation
network in this area is limited to NC 42 and a few local neighborhood roads. This area is also on private
wells and septic systems. The zoning of this area is predominantly Residential Agricultural, Residential
Restricted, Residential Mixed, and Residential Restricted — Conditional Use. The majority of the area is
Residential Agricultural. Residential Restricted is in the northwest quadrant of the interchange and use is
STIP R-2536 FINAL sICE — Randolph County 21

restricted to site built, modular homes. Residential Mixed zoning is a small pocket in the northeast
quadrant, and Residential Restricted — Conditional Use is in the southeast quadrant.
No-Build Scenario:
Low-density single-family and modular home residential development would likely continue along NC 42
in the No-Build scenario. Due to the lack of water and sewer infrastructure, it is unlikely that commercial
development will occur in this area in the foreseeable future.
Build DevelopmentScenario:
The construction of the proposed interchange could attract more development. Without a change in
zoning however, this area is likely to remain low density residential. If re-zoning were to occur the new
interchange would likely attract highway oriented commercial development. However, the scale and
intensity of any development would be influenced by the future availability of water and sewer services,
as these do not currently exist in this PDA.
PDA 3: NC 159/ Zoo Connector and US 64 Asheboro Bvoass InterchanEe Area
Existing Conditions:
This sub-area is generally centered on the intersection of the proposed US 64 Asheboro Bypass with
NC 159 and the proposed Zoo Connector and encompasses approximately 2,517 acres of (and (Figure 3c).
The sub-area is roughly bound by Pine Hill Road and Old Cox Road to the east, and by larger vacant or
wooded parcels to the north, west, and south. The Yogi Bear Jellystone Park, which is currently under
construction, is located in the northeastern corner of this PDA along Crestview Church Road. There are
also two churches on the northern boundary of the PDA, Hilltop Baptist Church (934 Maple Ridge Rd) and
Browers Chapel United Methodist Church (1663 Plantation Circle). The transportation network in this
PDA includes NC 159, secondary roads, and (ocal, neighborhood streets. Existing (and uses consist of a
mix of large undeveloped parcels, pockets of forested land, individual residential parcels, and
subdivisions. The area immediately around the interchange is largely residential, with some large vacant
or wooded parcels. The proposed bypass alignment crosses Vestal Creek, Tantraugh Branch and North
Prong Richland Creek. There are other streams within this sub-area including South Prong Richland Creek
and several unnamed tributaries.
Water service is provided by the City of Asheboro as far as the Southwood neighborhood on NC 159 and
on Old Cox Road, past Zoo Parkway. Otherwise, water and sewer service is provided by private wells and
septic systems.
The City of Asheboro's municipal limits and its extra-territorial jurisdiction (ETJ) are found in the vicinity of
the proposed US 64 Asheboro Bypass and NC 159. The ETJ (imits extend to the Southwood neighborhood,
whereas the municipal (imits end just south of the proposed bypass. In its Growth Strategy (2015) the
City of Asheboro considers the area within the municipal limits as a primary growth area. The area in the
ETJ is designated as long-range growth. The county has designated the majority of the land south of the
bypass and east of NC 159 as Zoo Environmental Area in Randolph County's 2009 Growth Management
Plan. The area west of NC 159 is designated Secondary Growth Area. Within the municipal (imits and ETJ,
the City has several zoning districts including: Low Density Residential Districts (R-15), Low Density Single-
Family Residential Districts (R-40), General Commercial District (B2), Office-Apartment High Density
District (OA6), Conditional Use High Density Residential District (CURA6), and Conditional Use Office-
Apartment High Density District (CUOA6). The county zoning districts include Residential Restricted (RR),
Residential Agricultural (RA), Residential Exclusive (RE), Residential Exclusive—Conditional Use (RE-CU),
Commercial Environmental Overlay Conditional District (CEO-CD), Conventional Subdivision Overlay
District (CVO-CD), and Environmental District 1(E-1). From approximately Tantraugh Branch south and
east to the boundary of this PDA, the zoning is E-1. This district is "designed specifically to enhance and
preserve the special character of the Zoo site. All development, other than single-family residential
STIP R-2536 FINAL sICE — Randolph County 22

homes, is regulated through Conditional Use or Special Use Permit Review." Some residential use has
been approved west of Zoo Parkway.
No-Build Scenario:
Residential and some (imited commercial development may continue along the NC 159 corridor. Under
the No-Build scenario, it is likely that the density of future residential and commercial land use
development would be less with the absence of the proposed interchange.
Build DevelopmentScenario:
As a result of the proposed project, US 64 Asheboro Bypass will provide a more direct connection to
NC 159 and the North Carolina Zoo via the proposed Zoo Connector. This interchange may attract
highway oriented commercial development around the interchange. However, the scale and intensity of
any development would be influenced by proximity to the zoo and related destination traffic, the future
availability of water and sewer services, as well as zoning regulations. Without a change in either of these
factors, the area may continue to see low density residential development.
PDA 4: I-73/74and US 64 Asheboro Bypass Interchange Area
Existing Conditions:
This sub-area is centered on the proposed interchange at I-73/74/and the proposed US 64 Asheboro
Bypass; it also includes parcels along US 220 Business and encompasses approximately 1,535 acres of (and
(Figure 3d). The sub-area is roughly bounded by the Little River to the west and parcels to the south. A UT
to North Prong Richland Creek, the neighborhood boundaries of Cedar Grove Park and Woodland Acres,
and US 220 Business make up the eastern boundary of PDA 4. The northern boundary is delineated by
parcel boundaries. Existing (and use in the area is predominantly forested to the west of I- 73/74.
Between I-73/74 and US 220 Business, the (and use is a mix of industrial, residential, and some
agricultural. The transportation network in this area includes I-73/74 and US 220 Business, state roads,
and local roads. The municipal limits of the City of Asheboro extend into the northern portion of this PDA.
The City of Asheboro provides water and sewer service down US 220 Business, to just north of the PDA
boundary. However, municipal water and sewer was extended to the Klaussner Furniture plant (now
closed) (ocated between I-73/74 and US 220 Business, just south of the proposed interchange.
Seagrove/Ulah Metropolitan Water District (SUWD) provides water on the eastern side of US 220
Business, Cedar Grove Road, and Crestview Church Road within the PDA. The rest of the PDA is on private
wells and septic systems. Zoning of this area is predominantly Residential Agricultural; however, there are
pockets of Heavy Industrial, Light Industrial, and Residential Restricted. The industrial areas are clustered
along I-73/74 and US 220 Business. The Residential Restricted area is between US 220 Business and I-
73/74, just north of the proposed interchange. This PDA is entirely within a Primary Growth Area for the
county.
No-Build Scenario:
Low-density single-family and modular home residential development would likely continue within the
PDA in the No-Build scenario. As noted above, water and sewer infrastructure is (imited to the west side
of US 220 from the City of Asheboro, directly to the Klaussner Furniture Plant (closed). Limited additional
service is provided by SUWD on the eastern side of US 220 to Crestview Church Road and Cedar Grove
Road. Currently there are no plans to extend additional water or sewer service to the area by either the
City of Asheboro or SUWD. The Klaussner Furniture Plant location may be redeveloped by another
industrial manufacturer; however, due to the lack of water and sewer infrastructure in the area, it is
unlikely that this area will attract additional industrial development.
Build DevelopmentScenario:
The construction of the proposed interchange may attract more development. However, without a
change in zoning and additional water/sewer infrastructure, this area is likely to remain low density
residential. If re-zoning were to occur, the new interchange would likely attract industrial, commercial,
STIP R-2536 FINAL sICE — Randolph County 23

and retail development. The scale and intensity of any development would be influenced by the future
availability of water and sewer services and lack of direct roadway access due to both the US 64 Asheboro
Bypass and I-73/74 being full control of access.
PDA 5: NC 49 and US 64 Asheboro Bypass Interchange Area
Existing Conditions:
This sub-area is centered on the proposed US 64 Asheboro Bypass interchange with US 49 and
encompasses approximately 1,477 acres of (and (Figure 3e). The sub-area is roughly bounded by parcel
boundaries, Old NC Hwy 49, Ashworth Road, and Walker Road. The transportation network in this area
includes state and local roads. The municipal limits of the City of Asheboro extend into this PDA. The City
of Asheboro extended water and sewer service down NC 49 ending at approximately the proposed US 64
Asheboro Bypass interchange. This extension was likely to accommodate the Klaussner Furniture
manufacturing plant, now closed, along NC 49. The remainder of the PDA is on well water and septic
systems. Zoning of this area is predominantly Residential Agricultural; however, there are pockets of
Industrial and Residential Restricted. The industrial areas are clustered along NC 49, just east of the
proposed interchange. The portion of the PDA west of the proposed US 64 Asheboro Bypass is Residential
Agricultural. The Residential Restricted area is northeast of the proposed interchange. The southern
portion of the PDA is within a Primary Growth Area for the county. The northern half is in a Secondary
Growth Area.
No-Build Scenario:
Low-density single-family and modular home residential development would likely continue within the
PDA in the No-Build scenario. Water and sewer infrastructure extends along NC 49 to the Klaussner
Furniture Plant, now closed, and to two other industrial manufacturers. Industrial development may
occur in this area in the foreseeable future if connection to available water and sewer along NC 49 can be
provided.
Build DevelopmentScenario:
The construction of the proposed interchange may attract more development. However, without a
change in zoning and additional water/sewer infrastructure, this area is likely to remain low density
residential. If re-zoning were to occur the new interchange would likely attract industrial, commercial,
and retail development. The scale and intensity of any development would be influenced by the future
availability of water and sewer services.
PDA 6: US 64 and US 64 Asheboro Bypass Interchange Area (Western Terminus)
Existing Conditions:
This sub-area is centered on the proposed US 64 Asheboro Bypass interchange with US 64 and
encompasses approximately 1,891 acres of (and (Figure 3f). The sub-area is bounded by parcel
boundaries on all sides. South of US 64, the land use is forested with scattered single-family homes.
North of US 64, the area is a mix of forest, agriculture and single-family residential, particularly along
Poole Town Road. A mobile home park is (ocated off of Carriage Way Road, across from the proposed
interchange. The transportation network in this area includes state and local roads. Water and sewer
service does not extend to this PDA. Zoning of this area is predominantly Residential Agricultural to the
west of the proposed bypass. Just east of the proposed bypass and north of US 64 the area is zoned
Residential Exclusive. The Residential Exclusive area, as identified by Randolph County zoning, is for major
single-family residential subdivisions, with buildings restricted to site-built, single-family or modular
homes.
No-Build Scenario:
STIP R-2536 FINAL sICE — Randolph County 24

Low-density single-family and modular home residential development would likely continue within the
PDA in the No-Build scenario. Due to the lack of water and sewer infrastructure, it is unlikely that
development will occur in this area in the foreseeable future.
Build DevelopmentScenario:
The construction of this interchange may attract residential as well as retail and convenience
development. Convenience retail will likely service some of the residential development, but primarily
traffic from the Bypass and US 64. However, due to the lack of water and sewer infrastructure and in the
absence of re-zoning, this residential development would likely remain low density and single-family in
character.
Land Use Scenario Assessment Methodology & Matrix
The categories listed in the land use scenario assessment tool (Table 2) have been shown to have a direct
relationship to future quality of life and effects to resources. The measures used to rate the effects from a high
concern to less concern for quality of life and effects to resources are also supported by documentation and case
studies. Each category is assessed individually for the Build Scenario and the No-Build Scenario. Results of the tool
represent a comprehensive determination of whether or not effects to resources are expected to result from the
project. In general, the more the Build Scenario and the No-Build Scenario diverge, the greater the potential for
future effects to resources.
Table 2: Indirect Scenario Assessment Tool — STIP R-2536
STIP R-2536 FINAL sICE — Randolph County 25

Land Use Scenario Assessment Results
Based on an examination of the PDAs, the construction of STIP Project R-2536 is expected to result in (and use
change. These changes would likely include a mixture of uses with increased densities at the interchanges of the
proposed US 64 Asheboro Bypass with US 64/NC 49, NC 42, NC 159/ Zoo Connector, I-73/74, NC 49, US 64.
Pressure/Demand for Higher Impact Development - The No-Build scenario was rated at the moderately (ow (evel
due to less concern of commercial or large residential areas developing in the PDAs without the benefit of more
direct access to existing US 64. The Build scenario was rated at the moderately high level as the combination of
exposure to increased traffic volumes and increased access near proposed interchanges will likely increase the
desirability for commercial, employment center, and residential development in these areas.
Future Shift of Regional Population Growth to the Area - The No-Build scenario was rated at the moderately (ow
level due to less of a population shift in the PDAs without the benefit of more direct access to US 64 and the City of
Asheboro to the north. The Build scenario was rated at a moderate level due to the planned growth in
employment center (and uses at the proposed US 64 Asheboro Bypass interchanges at US 64/NC 49, I-73/75,
NC 49, and US 64, as well as a commercial center at NC 42.
Pressure for Land Development Outside Regulated Areas - The No-Build and Build scenarios were rated at the
moderately low level due to all PDAs being subject to development regulations.
Pressure for Land Development Outside Planned Areas - The No-Build and Build scenarios were rated at the
moderate level because a sizeable portion of all PDAs are in the county's Residential Agricultural and Residential
Restricted zones that allow for less dense single-family housing development.
Development Pattern - The No-Build scenario was rated at the moderately high level due to more concern that
development would take on a sprawling pattern at a sporadic pace. The Build scenario was rated at the moderate
level due to the likelihood that development would occur and support a more clustered and higher-density pattern
near proposed interchanges.
Planned/Managed Land Use and Impacts - The No-Build and Build scenarios were rated at the moderately (ow
level due to all PDAs having land development goals and stormwater management regulations.
Construction of the project may accelerate anticipated growth within each of the six sub-areas examined. Land
use and development patterns are expected to be most markedly different between the No-Build and Build
scenarios in the vicinity of the proposed interchange at NC 159/Zoo Connector (PDA #3) and at I-73/I-74 (PDA #4).
US 64 Asheboro Bypass will provide new access points to existing US 64 at the proposed east and west
interchanges, and to southern Asheboro via the proposed interchanges with NC 49, I-73/I-74, NC 159/Zoo
STIP R-2536 FINAL sICE — Randolph County 26

Connector, and NC 42. The combination of exposure to increased traffic volumes and increased access near
proposed interchanges will likely increase the desirability for commercial and employment center development in
these areas. However, due to the lack of water and sewer infrastructure and the current zoning of these areas as
predominantly residential, the character of the land use is unlikely to be markedly different between the No Build
and Build in the near-term. The future extension of municipal water and sewer service and re-zoning in proximity
to the proposed Bypass interchanges, in combination with an improving economy, will ultimately determine the
level of future growth and development in these areas.
SUMMARY STATEMENTS
Indirect Summary Statement
Potential (and use effects as a result of the R-2536 project are probable as the project is expected to provide new
access and opportunities for traffic exposure to properties in the FLUSA, will generate appreciable travel time
savings for most travelers, and will result in the creation of a new land use nodes. The extent of potential indirect
land use effects as a result of the R-2536 project will be largely dependent upon several key variables, including:
the future local economy and market for development, public infrastructure projects, future zoning considerations,
and future transportation improvements in the area.
Although the construction of the R-2536 project has the potential to influence development and accelerate growth
within the FLUSA, the Build scenario is not expected to result in notable effects to quality of life or resources. Land
use development patterns are expected to be most markedly different between the No-Build and Build scenarios
in the vicinity of the proposed NC 159/Zoo Connector interchange (PDA #3). Conversely, (and use development
patterns are not expected to be markedly different between the No-Build and Build scenarios at either the western
terminus at US 64 or the eastern terminus at US 64/NC 49 (likely to remain primarily residential).
Water Quality Effects Summary Statement
Qualitative analyses of the probable development patterns in the FLUSA, based on the information and data
available at the time of this report, suggest that development resulting from STIP Project R-2536 could potentially
have an effect on water quality and future stormwater runoff in the watersheds encompassed by the project. A
modest increase in stormwater runoff will occur as a result of new vehicular traffic utilizing the US 64 Asheboro
Bypass and impervious surface from buildings and parking. However, water quality concerns for both the No-Build
and Build scenarios should be minimized and/or mitigated through compliance with regulations covering
watershed protection, floodplain protection, stream and river buffers and stormwater management. As such, no
additional water quality effects analysis is recommended.
Cumulative Effects Summary Statement
The R-2536 project proposes improvements to US 64 in Asheboro that includes a 13.7 mile bypass south of
Asheboro with a Zoo Connector. The project is designed to improve traffic flow and enhance regional through
traffic on the US 64 intrastate corridor by providing an alternative to existing US 64 through Asheboro. The
existing and projected traffic, lack of access control, and land use patterns along existing US 64 diminish its
functions as an intrastate corridor. Zoo-related traffic congestion along NC 159 makes access difficult for residents
in the area.
The typical section proposed for the US 64 Asheboro Bypass consists of four 12-foot wide travel (anes and a
70-foot median, with 12-foot shoulders on both sides of the travel lanes. Ten feet of the outside shoulder and four
feet of the inside shoulders adjacent to the travel lanes will be paved. The Zoo Connector is proposed to be a two-
lane, parkway-type, controlled access roadway (with the exception of two break points).
STIP R-2536 FINAL sICE — Randolph County 27

Land use throughout the FLUSA is mostly rural residential, with more dense commercial development located
along and north of US 64 and industrial development scattered along NC 49, I-73/74, and US 220 Business. Overall
the project is likely to have beneficial economic effects on the region, due to improvements to the intrastate
corridor, improved access to the area's business, commerce and industry as well as to the NC Zoo. Areas adjacent
to the proposed bypass are targeted in local planning documents for development and may become more
attractive for development, particularly near proposed interchanges due to improved access. The city's Land
Development Plan proposes new employment centers at the interchanges of US 64 west, NC 49, I-73/74, and US 64
east, and commercial (and uses at NC 42. Industrial growth has already occurred along the NC 49, US 220 Business,
and the I-73/74 corridors. Most of the remaining FLUSA is expected to continue to develop at present rates under
current rural zoning standards. Additionally, commercial and industrial development is expected to continue
primarily along US 64, US 220 Business, I-73/74 and NC 49 corridors with or without STIP Project R-2536.
As noted by local planners, recent development in the FLUSA has mostly occurred within Asheboro's city limits,
including west Asheboro and north of existing US 64. While the residential, commercial, and industrial markets
within Asheboro's jurisdiction have been relatively steady with moderate growth, the county's market for
development is not particularly strong.
The increased mobility and accessibility provided by STIP Project R-2536 could support planned employment
center and commercial center growth in the FLUSA. However, these types of development are consistent with
locally adopted land use plans. Given that municipal water and sewer services are predominantly limited to
Asheboro's city limits and there are no current plans in place to extend service further south, in proximity to the
proposed bypass facility, future development in these unserved areas may be hindered. However, this area is
identified by the county's Growth Management Plan as a Primary Growth Area that is likely to have access to
urban infrastructure, such as water and sewer, within the foreseeable future. Therefore, although the
construction of the US 64 Asheboro Bypass may increase development opportunities in southern Asheboro near
interchanges, the future extension of municipal water and sewer service in proximity to the Bypass, in combination
with an improving economy, will ultimately determine the level of future growth and development in this area.
Direct natural environmental impacts by the project would be addressed by avoidance, minimization, and
mitigation, consistent with programmatic agreements with environmental resource and regulatory agencies during
the permitting processes. Future development would be required to follow federal, state and local regulations for
the protection of water quality. Cumulative natural resource effects resulting from the project are not anticipated
to be significant, as the project is not anticipated to change the rate or pattern of development except to the areas
surrounding the planned interchanges that are expected to convert to urban/commercial uses.
The cumulative effect of this project when considered in the context of other past, present, and future actions, and
the resulting impact on the notable human and natural features, should be moderately low. Forecast
development would be the predominant contributor to cumulative effects. Development is already occurring in
the FLUSA and that development is anticipated to continue.
CONCLUSIONS & NEXT STEPS
Based on present conditions in the FLUSA, as assessed in this report, no immediate actions from NCDOT, Randolph
County, or the City of Asheboro are currently anticipated. However, continued outreach to community leaders
and elected officials is recommended as the project progresses.
Although the construction of the R-2536 project has the potential to influence development and accelerate growth
within the FLUSA, the Build scenario is not expected to result in increased effects to quality of life or resources.
Land use development patterns are expected to be most markedly different between the No-Build and Build
scenarios in the vicinity of the proposed NC 159/Zoo Connector interchange (PDA #3). Conversely, (and use
development patterns are not expected to be markedly different between the No-Build and Build scenarios at
STIP R-2536 FINAL sICE — Randolph County 28

either the western terminus at US 64 or the eastern terminus at US 64/NC 49 (likely to remain primarily
residential).
A modest increase in stormwater runoff will occur as a result of new vehicular traffic utilizing the US 64 Asheboro
Bypass and impervious surface from buildings and parking. However, water quality concerns for both the No-Build
and Build scenarios should be minimized and/or mitigated through compliance with regulations covering
watershed protection, floodplain protection, stream and river buffers and stormwater management. As such, no
additional water quality effects analysis is recommended.

14) How would you characterize the residential market? Commercial market? Industrial market?
In the tirrie peri�d between 2005 and the present, the residential, c�rrirriercial, and industrial rriar�ets
experienced the rri�st rapid r�r�wth in the first few years durinr� tha� peri�d. The r�reatest irripact �f the
ec�n�rriic recessi�n that �ccurred in the late 2000s has been �n new residential devel�prrient, while
s�rrie devel�prrient activities (such as rriedical uses} have seen r�bust r�r�wth in the I�cal rriar�et, even
durinr� the heir�ht �f the recessi�n. The c�rrirriercial and industrial rriar�ets, while n�t seeinr� the level �f
r�r�wth �f the rriid 2000s bef�re the recessi�n, have been relatively steady, with rri�derate r�r�wth. The
Ciixie Cirive c�rrid�r, d�wnt�wn �,sheb�r� area, and several �ther I�cati�ns scattered thr�ur�h�ut the
�urisdicti�n have seen rri�derate c�rrirriercial activity in the last 10 years. Several exarriples �f industrial
devel�prrient include expansi�ns �f i�alt � i�eal and Technirriar� in the n�rthern secti�n �f �,sheb�r� and
industrial devel�prrient (i.e. PEi�i��� i�anufacturinr�} al�nr� Veterans L��p R�ad in s�uthern �,sheb�r�
near the pr�posed interchanr�e �f the lJS Hwy. 64 �ypass and I-73/74. It rnay als� be advisable t� c�nsult
with real estate pr�fessi�nal(s} f�r their perspective.

15) How would you describe the local commitment to development (pro-growth vs. anti-growth)? Is the
political climate stable or unstable? In r�eneral, there is a positive I�cal c�rnrnitrnent t�wards balanced
r�rc,wth, dependinr� c,n the nature c,f specific de�relc,prrient prc,posals. The political clirriate is stable.
16) What are the general development goals for this area? How does Asheboro envision the US 64
Bypass corridor within the study area? If the �ity were t� extend its �urisdicti�n and infrastructure int� the
area in the I�nr�- ranr�e future, the r��al w�uld be t� utilize this f�r appr�priately I�cated erripl�yrrient
centers, while pr�tectinr� ad��ininr� devel�prrient that rriay currently exist �r �ccur in the future fr�rri any
externalities r�enerated fr�rri the erripl�yrrient centers. �, rria��r c�ncern is t� ensure that the East Ciixie
Cirive c�rrid�r als� rerriains viable after the lJS Hwy. 64 �ypass is c�rripleted.
17) Are there any development moratoria? Development incentives? There are n� devel�prnent
rri�ra��ria currently within the �ity �f �,sheb�r�'s z�ninr� �urisdicti�n and incentives are presented t�
elected �fficials and reviewed �n a case�by-case basis, dependinr� �n the rrierits (i.e. ec�n�rriic
devel�prrient r�enerati�n, ��b creati�n, etc.} �f a pr�posed pr��ect.
18) What are the major constraints to development in the area? i�uch �f the irnrnediate area ad�acent t�
the lJS Hwy. 64 �ypass lac�s city services (water and sewer}, and extendinr� city services t� s�rrie �f
these areas c�uld be very c�stly. This is �ne reas�n that the �ity �f �,sheb�r� relinquished a porti�n �f its
extraterritc,rial zc,ninr� �urisdictic,n tc, Randc,lph �c,unty in 2013. In additic,n, in certain Ic,ca�ic,ns, there are
severe s�il lirriita�i�ns which effect the ability t� I�cate sep�ic systerris, areas �f steep t�por�raphy, and
s�rrie areas within a fl��d hazard area.
19) Are you aware of any minority communities/populations within the study area? Do you anticipate
impacts to these communities/populations? �ensus Tract 301, extendinr� between I-73/74 and lJS Hwy.
220 �usiness has a rriin�rity populati�n �f 42.61 percent, and �ensus Tract 302.02 r�ur�hly extendinr�
fr�rri S�uth Fayetteville Street, t� east �f ��� Par�way, has a rriin�rity populati�n �f 30.45 percent based
�n 2013 �,rrierican ��rrirriunity Survey census data.
https://qeomap.ffiec.qov/FFIECGeocMap/GeocodeMap1.aspx
20) Are you aware of any other special populations / communities (e.g., low-income, Limited English
Proficiency) that exist within the study area? �,cc�rdinr� t� census data (2013 �,rnerican ��rnrnunity
Sur�rey}, within the �ity c,f �,shebc,rc, 13.8 percent c,f the populatic,n spea�s Enr�lish less than �rery well.
The rria��rity �f the popula�i�n wh� spea� a lanr�uar�e �ther than Enr�lish as their prirriary lanr�uar�e spea�
Spanish. V�lhile the study area isn't cc,terrriinc,us with the r�eor�raphic units cc,ntained in �ensus data, we
w�uld expect a fairly sirriilar (albeit the estirriate w�uld be slir�htly I�wer based �n a review �f �ensus data
fc,r thc,se c,verlappinr� tracts} prc,portic,n c,f residents with Lirriited Enr�lish Prc,ficiency and iV�inc,rity
residents. 27.7� percent �f residents within �ensus Tract 301 have inc�rries bel�w the poverty line, whicr
is hir�her than the �ity and ��unty percentar�es as a wh�le.
21) The NC Division of Employment Security provides employment projections for regional Workforce
Development Boards (WDB). Based on these projections, the five-county Regional Partnership WDB
(Alamance, Montgomery, Moore, Orange, and Randolph Counties) is expected to gain jobs at an annual
rate of approximately 1.0 percent between 2010 and 2020. Is this estimate satisfactory in your opinion?
Do you expect the annual employment growth in the study area to be less, the same, or more than the
county? This seerns r�enerally satisfact�ry, and �ne �f the fact�rs deterrnininr� the level �f r�r�wth within
the study area is the availability �f infrastructure needed t� service erripl�yrrient centers. �,reas with
access t� services w�uld li�ely see hir�her erripl�yrrient r�r�wth with areas lac�inr� infrastructural services
seeinr� I�wer r�r�wth. �,n�ther fact�r is the potential f�r increased t�urisrri devel�prrient at and ar�und the
N�rth �ar�lina ���I�r�ical Par�.
22) Based on data published by the North Carolina Office of Budget and Management, it is anticipated
that Randolph County will experience an annual population growth rate of approximately 0.01 percent
through 2034. Is this estimate accurate in your opinion? Would you expect the annual population growth
STIP R-2536 Land Use Scenario Assessment — Randolph County

in the study area to be lower than, the same as, or higher than the County as a whole? This estirna�e is
c�nsiderably I�wer than any previ�us estirriates, and populati�n r�r�wth that has been �ccurrinr�, includinr�
durinr� the ec�n�rriic d�wnturn �f the late 2000's. V�le w�uld anticipate the annual populati�n r�r�wth rate
w�uld be c�nsistent with �r hir�her than the ��unty as a wh�le, r�iven the relative pr�xirriity t� urban
arrienities. �,Is�, durinr� the ��rriprehensive Transportati�n Plan pr�cess, the r�eneral c�nsensus �f the
w�r� r�r�up was that the f�recasted populati�n �f 29,339 by 2040 fr�rri 25,770 in 2012 was I�wer the w�r�
r�r�up w�uld anticipate.
23) Do you anticipate this project (STIP Project R-2536) will affect land use or development patterns in
the area? If yes, what kinds of effects are expected and where do you anticipate they would occur?
Extensi�n �f city services (water/sewer} int� the areas n�t currently served by this infrastructure c�uld
irripact area devel�prrient patterns sir�nificantly. �urrently, the area ad�acent t� rriuch �f the pr�posed
�ypass c�rrid�r is n�t served by �ity services, and rriuch �f the area is �utside �f the ETJ. The r�reatest
irripact c,f de�relc,prrient wc,uld li�ely be at the prc,posed interchanr�es, with the ease c,f accessibility tc,
pr�perty als� deterrriininr� the li�elih��d �f land devel�prrient.
24) Are you aware of any community concerns or controversy relative to this project? �, pr��ect �f this
rriar�nitude, with the sir�nificant nurriber �f pr�perties inv�lved, inherently raises c�rrirriunity c�ncerns.
25) Are there any additional comments you would like to make? S�rne �f the c�rnrnents ab�ve are
specific tc, the �ity c,f �,shebc,rc, and its extraterritc,rial �urisdictic,n, sc, it wc,uld be advisable tc, alsc, cc,nsult
with the Randc,lph �c,unty Planninr� and �c,ninr� c,ffice tc, r�et their input, since rriuch c,f the area in the
irrirriediate vicinity c,f the prc,posed �ypass is within Randc,lph �c,unty's zc,ninr� �urisdictic,n (see #12 fc,r

STIP R-2536 Land Use Scenario Assessment (LUSA) Distribution - Proposed Asheboro
Bypass in Randolph County
Per your request, to aid in the project permit application process, please find attached the final Land Use
ScenarioAssessment (LUSA) for STIP Project R-2536, the proposed Asheboro Bypass, in Randolph County.
The Indirect and Cumulative Effects Screening Report concluded that further analysis was likely warranted as
there is a moderately-high concern for indirect and cumulative effects as a result of the R-2536 project in
combination with other public and private development actions.
The subsequent LUSA further assesses indirect and cumulative effects as a result of the project by
evaluating the potential for development in portions of the study area identified as `Probable Development
Areas' (PDA) in both the Build and No-Build scenarios.
The report concluded that "areas adjacent to the proposed bypass are targeted in local planning documents
for development and may become more attractive for development, particularly near proposed
interchanges due to improved access." Furthermore, "although the construction of the US 64 Asheboro
Bypass may increase development opportunities in southern Asheboro near interchanges, the future
extension of municipal water and sewer service in proximity to the Bypass, in combination with an
improving economy, will ultimately determine the level of future growth and development in this area.
Land use development patterns are expected to be most markedly different between the No-Build and Build
scenarios in the vicinity of the proposed NC 159/Zoo Connector interchange (PDA #3). Conversely, land use
development patterns are not expected to be markedly different between the No-Build and Build scenarios
at either the western terminus at US 64 or the eastern terminus at US 64/NC 49 (likely to remain primarily
residential)."
Refer to the condensed Executive Summary and the complete report for more detailed information. Please
advise if we may be of further assistance.
