Davis and Mr. James L. Davis for part of <br /> a parcel in their ownership lying between NC 86 and Old Chapel Hill- <br /> Hillsborough Road (Old 86), south of the Town of Hillsborough (please <br /> see map). <br /> The area proposed for re-designation is a 50-acre portion of a 108-acre <br /> parcel on the southeast side of Cates Creek in Hillsborough Township. <br /> The 50-acre portion is currently designated Rural Residential, while the <br /> remainder of the parcel is already designated Twenty-Year Transition. The <br /> property is undeveloped and is adjacent to the I-40/01d 86 Economic <br /> Development District. <br /> The designation of Twenty-Year Transition is applied to land in transition <br /> from rural to urban uses which has or will have access to public water and <br /> sewer service. The proposed designation of Twenty-Year Transition would <br /> allow potential rezoning of the property to higher-density residential uses <br /> in the future. The property is currently zoned R-1, which permits <br /> residential uses with a minimum lot size of 0.92 acres. <br />
