CURRENT LAND USE

Current uses inside the Sub-Area include industrial in the center of the site. Commercial and retail can be found along N Jefferson Way to the west, while the east is predominantly residential. The Sub-Area is currently home to multiple automotive businesses to the south, with Summerset Trail cutting both in front and behind these buildings. Emerson Elementary is outside of the boundary of the site, but serves many of the families in the residential neighborhood.
