20 <br /> Draft 11-19-2013 <br /> Future Land Use Designations <br /> Future development of properties within the Study Area will be guided by the Eno EDD - <br /> Future Land Use Map of the 2030 Orange County Comprehensive Plan, depicted on <br /> page 9. As a component of the Comprehensive Plan, the Future Land Use Map <br /> provides the framework for long-range decision-making regarding the area's growth and <br /> development. <br /> The following table describes the adopted future land use categories found in the Study <br /> Area: <br /> Future Land Use Description <br /> Designation <br /> Economic Land in areas of the County which has been specifically <br /> Development Activity targeted for economic development activity consisting of light <br /> Node industrial, distribution, office, service/retail uses, and flex space <br /> (typically one-story buildings designed, constructed, and <br /> marketed as suitable for use as offices but able to <br /> accommodate other uses such as a warehouse, showroom, <br /> manufacturing assembly, or similar operations.) Such areas are <br /> located adjacent to interstate and major arterial highways, and <br /> subject to special design criteria and performance standards. <br /> 10-Year Transition Land located in areas that are in the process of changing from <br /> rural to urban densities and/or intensities, that are suitable for <br /> higher densities and/or intensities and could be provided with <br /> public utilities and services within the first 10 year phase of the <br /> Plan update, or where such utilities and services are already <br /> present or planned. Non-residential uses implemented in <br /> accordance with small area plans and/or overlay districts may <br /> be appropriate. <br /> Resource Protection Designated Primary Conservation Areas which contain sensitive <br /> Area environmental resources, historically significant sites, and <br /> features considered unbuildable because of their limitations or <br /> unsuitability for development. Includes wetlands and <br /> floodplains along drainage tributaries, steep slope areas (15% <br /> or greater), natural areas, wildlife habitats and corridors, and <br /> significant historic and archaeological sites. <br /> 8 IPage <br />
