6.30.3b Intermediate Intensity Development Area <br />The Intermediate Intensity Development Area includes land designated as <br />intermediate intensity area in the Stoney Creek Basin Small Area Plan. <br />The Intermediate Intensity area is intended to provide a transition between <br />higher and lower intensity areas. It is envisioned as being predominantly <br />residential with density being determined in large part by the character of <br />existing development. The Intermediate Intensity area contains 1205 <br />acres, and includes the existing residential developments of Strayhorn <br />Hills and Wyngate, areas bordering University Station Road along the <br />eastern side of the Plan area, and area west of NC 86 adjacent to the 1- <br />40 /01d NC 86 Economic Development District. <br />6.30.3c Higher Intensity Development Area <br />The Higher Intensity Development Area includes land designated as <br />higher intensity area in the Stoney Creek Basin Small Area Plan and is <br />generally synonymous with areas designated in the Land Use Element of <br />the Comprehensive Plan as Ten- or Twenty -Year Transition Area. In the <br />future, land within the Higher Intensity area will likely be annexed into the <br />municipalities of Hillsborough or Durham. A mix of land uses is possible. <br />The Higher Intensity area contains 699 acres, most of which lies in the <br />western and northwestern parts of the Stoney Creek Basin Plan Area, <br />with one smaller portion situated on the eastern tip of the area adjacent to <br />the I -85 /US 70 Economic Development District. <br />6 -58 <br />
