� 4 <br /> Chapter 5: Land Use Element <br /> according to the New Hope Corridor Open Space Master Plan <br /> completed in April of 1991. This classification is part of a system of <br /> open space in Durham and Orange Counties along New Hope Creek <br /> and its tributaries between Eno River State Park and U.S. Army Corps <br /> of Engineers land north of Jordan Lake. The New Hope Corridor Open <br /> Space is made up of critical environmental areas such as stream beds, <br /> floodplains, steep slopes, and larger tracts of historic, educational, or <br /> recreational value. <br /> Stoney Creek Basin- <br /> Land within the boundaries of the 4,696 acre Stoney Creek Drainage <br /> Basin southeast of the Town of Hillsborough in portions of <br /> Hillsborough, Eno, and Chapel Hill Townships. The area is triangular <br /> in shape and is bound generally by 1-85 to the north, the University <br /> Spur of Southern Railroad to the east, and NC Highway 86 to the west. <br /> For each land use classification and overlay, sets of criteria have been developed <br /> that describe the physical and environmental context, the projected population <br /> change, and resulting land requirements. (See Appendix G: Land Use Platt <br /> Eery-Classification and Overlay Locational Criteria.) <br /> Map 5-4: Future Land Use Map, designates the areas where these classifications <br /> are applied. <br /> Ora iW,Cm"tty CoTnprehe+vsive Pla w Page 5-19 <br />
