Mark and the "Committee" -  Here's an idea.   Forget adding the 2 switches and taking up valuable real estate.   

Consider extending that stub siding that shows a "future industry" box under it and add a single LH switch on the dark green line on what looks like the entrance to the penninsula.   It effectively becomes a siding rather than a spur, really doesn't take up any valuable space as the switch I am proposing you add will be on the lower level under the tracks above and across from the rectangle marked "Station"

Two potential advantages, (1) no more track added the area you want to add one or two industries, and (2), the industry or two can be switched from either end eliminating the need for a Run Around.   It's kind a sorta like adding a run around in that it's now a siding.

Depending on what the business/industry is, you could stage up 2-3 empties and move them through filling the cars, with whatever the commodity is.
