37 <br /> PAGE 84—JPA LAND USE PLAN <br /> size ^"^F°°+°r Cluster subdivisions, reducing parcels to at least 1 acre in area, are allowed to as <br /> long as density limits for the entire subdivision are maintained. The Rural Residential designation <br /> is identical to the Rural Buffer category contained in the current Orange County Land Use <br /> Plan. The Rural Buffer category is described in the Plan as land adjacent to an Urban or <br /> Transition area which is rural in character and which should remain rural; contain very low- <br /> density residential uses, and agricultural uses, and agricultural support uses; and not require <br /> urban services (water and sewer) during the Plan period. <br /> Agricultural areas existinq within Transition Areas are expected to change from rural <br /> to urban uses as Chapel Hill and Carrboro continue to prow and as public water and sewer <br /> services are expanded. Agricultural areas are located principally in University Lake <br /> Watershed but are also prominent along the northern perimeter of the Planning Area <br /> boundary. As development occurs in these areas, it will be of very low-density in nature and <br /> will generally consist of farm dwelling and outbuildings in support of agricultural operations. <br /> To the north of Chapel Hill and Carrboro in the New Hope Creek drainage basin, low- <br /> density residential development has taken place along Whitfield Road, Sunrise Road and <br /> Erwin Road. Residential developments similar to Sedgefield, Stoneridge, Oak Hills, <br /> Birchwood Lake Estates and Falls of the New Hope are expected to continue, relying on <br /> wells and septic tanks for water supply and sewer disposal. <br /> To the west of Carrboro, Rural Residential development is also expected in <br /> University Lake Watershed. However, only low-density residential and agricultural uses are <br /> anticipated. Fer this F°a°^^ °°"d°^*"'' Development will continue to rely on wells and <br /> septic tanks for water supply and sewage disposal. <br /> The remaining area designated for Rural Residential and Agricultural development is <br /> the Southern Triangle area in the extreme southeastern portion of the County. The area <br /> drains to the southeast toward Jordan Lake and is beyond the ridge line of the Morgan <br /> Creek basin, an area which can be served by gravity sewer lines. The Southern Triangle is <br /> also characterized by environmental constraints such as steep slopes, flood plains and soils <br /> with poor stability, so low-density development is projected. <br /> There are approximately 9,260 acres of land designated for Rural Residential and <br /> Agricultural purposes in the Land Use Plan. If developed at an average density of one <br /> dwelling unit per two acres with 15% of the area subtracted out for streets and roads, the <br /> holding capacity of the area in terms of dwellings is 3,935. If multiplied by the 1980 Census <br /> figure for population per household (2.6), the estimated population would be 10,231. <br /> Text below the section proposed for amendment has been removed. <br />
