also think the land use classification should STAY as RURAL RESIDENTIAL. Any change otherwise would negatively impact our neighborhood in many ways (increased traffic on two-lane road, dangerous underpasses, depress home values, etc). Further, the Zoning and Land use classification would not be consistent, which will create conflicts later. Finally, the Durham plan keeps this entire area as residential in their urban growth plan. Thus, the Orange County and Durham plans will not be consistent. *As one of you mentioned at the last meeting, NO PROPOSAL regarding zoning and land use has been passed without the approval of the residents that are affected.* Clearly the residents do NOT SUPPORT THE PROPOSAL UNDER DISCUSSION. I urge you to oppose this proposal-and that the land use classification should either*remain residential or the region around Old NC-10 should be removed from this economic development district.

I have been to all the meetings having to do with the zoning of land on Old NC and will be attending on 9/6 to again strongly protest any land along Old NC 10 being zoned anything but"Rural Residential". I was troubled by an email sent by our unofficial "organizer", Chris Kelsey, reminding us of the date of the next meeting. He indicated that the Planning Department was retaining rural residential zoning, but still wants to change the Land Use Classification from rural residential to EDE-1, which allows a number of non-residential entities. I research land use classification and zoning and the difference between the two. I found that a Land Use Map is a graphic representation of physical uses of land. These land use maps are highly visible within most community plans, often showing both current land use and plans for future land use. Land Use Maps identify land uses by category. These typically include Residential, Industrial, Commercial, Natural Areas, Agricultural, and Civic uses. Land Use maps can be either very broad or very detailed depending on the context or reasoning behind creating the map. The land use map is an important tool for identifying existing conditions and for working toward a vision for the community. On the other hand, a Zoning Map is a graphic depiction of the boundaries for which a certain set of standards or regulations have been adopted by a governmental entity. The zoning map
