ORANGE COL NTY LAND USE PLAN AMENDMENT 1. CP-2-96 Stoney Creek Basin Small Area Plan AMEND the Orange County Land Use Plan to incorporate the Stoney Creek Small Area Plan. On December 5, 1994, the Orange County Board of Commissioners adopted the following charge: "To prepare a land use plan, including recommendations for implementation,for the Stoney Creek Basin Planning Area southeast of the Town of Hillsborough." Since that time, a 22 member Planning Group has worked on a land use plan for the 4,700 acre area that achieves two goals: 1. Makes sure landowners get fair value for their property; and 2. Protects the area's"rural character." The Planning Group identified key resource areas and then identified three levels of land-use intensity that would help protect these resources. The resources include Duke Forest, the Stoney Creek Wildlife Corridor, scenic road corridors, and existing farmland and neighborhoods. Lower intensity areas lie adjacent to most of the resource areas and best typify the area's remaining rural character; intermediate intensity areas are intended to provide a transition between lower and higher intensity; and higher intensity areas are adjacent to areas experiencing urban growth pressures and at some future date will likely be annexed into a municipality. The Planning Group has recommended against rezoning as a means of plan implementation and has instead used the voluntary Flexible Development Options currently being considered for adoption as the basis for their recommendations. 2.
