Commercial and Industrial Park Nearly 500 acres are available south of the central east-west McCloy Road/rail corridor for a three-phase development of a commercial and industrial park, from west to east. This phasing of development is independent of the maritime terminal phased development. Phase A This phase comprises 140 acres. The site contains five warehouse buildings that would be upgraded as an interim development by replacing the exterior cladding and roofs. Existing pipe utilities should be adequate to serve general occupancies such as light manufacturing and warehousing. The balance of this site will likely develop as office- industrial, and may be leased to a private developer for master development. In the event that the Immigrations and Naturalization Service facilities are developed to the immediate west,Phase A will serve as a buffer to adjacent campus developments to the east. Beyond development of the existing buildings,new structures and denser populations will require expansion of potable water service to the three phases. This will include installation of a minimum 12-inch diameter water line to Phase A, and potential installation of pump stations. Fire fighting water will be pumped from the river. Sanitary sewer, storm drainage,telecommunications,power, and gas facilities would be dependent of the nature and density of development and tenant needs. Infrastructure improvements associated with this and other phases are discussed below. In addition to the existing 600,000 square feet of buildings that may be rehabilitated,this phase is expected to include construction of tilt-up structures with offices in front, and high-bay light industrial functions in the larger rear area. Loading bays would likely be provided in the rear of the buildings. This type of development lends itself to a rectilinear grid of streets on"superblocks,"with truck alleys separating the rears of the buildings. Tenants would probably use maritime,road, and rail services. Phase B This 243-acre phase would likely be developed as campus office buildings,typically three to five stories in height. As much as 2 million square feet of buildings and a daytime population of 20,000 could be supported. Structured parking is necessary to support this dense development. If a single-use tenant is not found, conventional staged development can occur,probably using curvilinear streets,berming, and heavy planting to enhance the site. Phase C This phase is not necessarily time-constrained by Phases A and B, and could be an expansion of a Phase-B-type development, or a single-use tenant campus. The buildings on the site,including 50-year-old housing,the damaged Officer's Club,the NCO Club,
