ATTACHMENT 1 6 2. Implementation of Related Eno EDD Area Small Area Plan Recommendations Since adoption, Eno EDD Area Small Area Plan recommendations have been implemented in preparation for economic development in the Eno EDD area including: • Land Use Plan Map amendments • Pre-zoning of land • Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) amendments for EDD districts • An inter-local utility service agreement with Durham • Work has begun on a public water and sewer master plan • Planning for a cross-county bus route • Striping two feet from the shoulders of Old NC Hwy.10 to enhance bicyclists safety • I-85/US 70 interchange concept plan was drafted by NCDOT • 1-85 widening project and US 70 interchange project have been entered in the State's Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) for implementation in a post development program. 3. Analysis The study area for the Draft Eno EDD Access Management Plan comprises approximately 980 acres of land in the vicinity of US Highway 70 and Old NC Highway 10 (near Durham County). As properties are developed for non-residential land uses within the Eno EDD, transportation interconnectivity and access will become increasingly important, enhancing the importance of a formally adopted access management plan for the area. The proposed access management plan examines the US 70 and Old NC Hwy. 10 corridors and recommends an access management concept to best meet local conditions while maintaining the functionality of these important arterial facilities for current and future traffic. The improvement of the functionality of these arterials to serve both commuting and travelling traffic together with serving the businesses and residences along these routes is of high local and strategic importance as future development proceeds in the Eno EDD. Indicators of the area's future development potential include previously adopted changes to the existing zoning and future land use designations. The scope of the Plan does not include any revisions to the area's zoning or future land use designations, but does review what was previously adopted by the Board of County Commissioners (BOCC). 4. Comprehensive Plan Linkage (i.e. Principles, Goals and Objectives) Transportation Goal 3: Integrated land use planning and transportation planning that serves existing development supports future development, and is consistent with the County's land use plans which include provisions for preserving the natural environment and community character. Transportation Policy Statement: The intent was that the access management policy framework of the Orange Grove Road Project (2003) be applied in other areas of the County. 5.
