t , j'~ Secondary Development Areas are intended to provide a "step-down" or land use buffer between Primary Development Areas and residentially zoned or developed properties. A limited number of residential and office uses are allowed within Secondary Development Areas. Where residential development is contemplated, moderate densities ranging from two to four dwelling units per acre are permitted. Adjacent properties to the west, north and east are within the I-85/Buckhorn Road EDD; properties south of West Ten Road are in the R-1 Rural Residential Zoning District; the entire area is within the U-ENO-PW Upper Eno Protected Watershed Overlay District. A Major Transportation Corridor (MTC) Overlay District extends southward 1,250 feet from I-40 & I- 85 right-of-way and covers the northern third of the subject property. Use of land within the MTC Overlay District for single family and two-family dwellings is not subject to the provisions, requirements and restrictions of that overlay district. There is one residential structure on the subject property. Adjacent properties to the west, south and east also contain residential structures. Areas along West Ten Road farther to the east are predominantly wooded; areas farther to the west are wooded and interspersed with residential uses; areas south of West Ten Road contain cleared and wooded land interspersed with residential uses. As documented in The Orange County Economic Development Districts Design Manual (Part Two, 2.2 Permitted Uses) residential uses (single- family, two-family, and multi-family dwellings in designated locations and subject to design standards, and mobile homes for replacement of existing mobile home and for temporary occupancy during construction of a permanent residential unit) are the only uses allowed, subject to County staff review and approval of development plans, within Secondary Development Areas in the I-85/Buckhorn Road EDD that are not allowed in Primary Development Areas in that district. However, the I-85/Buckhorn Road EDD was approved as a Primary Area for economic development and contains no Secondary Development Areas. The Orange County Board of County Commissioners adopted the I-85 and Buckhorn Road Economic Development District north of I-85 in March, 1994. In August, 1996, the Board approved the expansion of that district, as strictly a Primary Development Area, to include a 586-acre area bounded by Buckhorn Road to the west, West Ten Road to the south, the boundary of the Upper Eno Critical Area to the east, and I-85 to the north excluding Cleanriew Subdivision and an adjacent mobile home park.
