61 <br /> 1 <br /> 2 4. Why now public utilities? <br /> 3 This area has been noted as an urban growth land use since 1981 and reconfirmed <br /> 4 in 1994 and 2008. Recommendations in the Eno Small Area Plan suggested an <br /> 5 agreement with the City of Durham which was accomplished in January 2012. <br /> 6 Orange County is facilitating the proposed land use pattern since any one small or <br /> 7 large business could not afford to build infrastructure. Job growth is more important <br /> 8 than ever in designated areas. 84% of the county is rural and only 16% including <br /> 9 cities and along interstates is designated as Urban. <br /> 10 <br /> 11 5. Annexation <br /> 12 These land use and zoning amendments do not create annexation programs. If a <br /> 13 new business or resident wants public water and sewer, they will sign a voluntary <br /> 14 annexation form and if the City of Durham decides the petition meets state law and is <br /> 15 fiscally feasible then it may be annexed. (See annexation monograph from City of <br /> 16 Durham) <br /> 17 <br /> 18 6. Why are there two plans Orange County and City of Durham? <br /> 19 There are two land use plans (Orange County and City of Durham) and one zoning <br /> 20 plan (only Orange County). The area is within Orange County which has a land use <br /> 21 and zoning program. If a city also has an area of county within its future urban <br /> 22 growth boundary (UGB) then they also have a future land use plan map. Land use <br /> 23 comparability is key in these urban but non-extraterritorial jurisdictions (non-ETJ). <br /> 24 <br /> 25 7. Mobile Home Parks <br /> 26 The northern mobile home park is being rezoned to EDE-2 which has frontage on I- <br /> 27 85. The southern mobile home park will remain Planned Development HR 4 zoning <br /> 28 since its approval contains special `Planned Development' conditions until such time <br /> 29 a different project is proposed. The future land use and existing zoning would allow <br /> 30 residential to remain and/or be upgraded. <br /> 31 <br /> 32 0 Economic Development Eno Lower Intensity (EDE-1) <br /> 33 <br /> 34 EDE-1 Allows: <br /> 35 • Finance <br /> 36 • Government <br /> 37 • Services * <br /> 38 • Transportation <br /> 39 • Miscellaneous <br /> 40 • Residential <br /> 41 EDE-1 Doesn't Allow: <br /> 42 • Agricultural <br /> 43 • Construction <br /> 44 • Information <br /> 45 • Manufacturing, Assembly & Processing <br /> 46 • Recreation <br /> 47 • Wholesale Trade <br /> 48 EDE-2 Allows: <br />
