Amend Section 3.10 -Eno Township Plan by revising the description of activity node ENO-2 to read C A(A-NW as follows: /F REFERENCE.ENO-2 (Eno) (I-861U.S. 70) /l/FCs--SS X y LOCATION.-1-85 and U.S. 70 PLAN CATEGORY 7'L Economic Development(Transition)Activity Node IN UF_ ANALYSISAND EVALUATION.This node is located at the intersection of an interstate highway and ��p a major arterial road, and includes a two-mile stretch along U.S. Highway 70. The area is also serviced by a spur of the Southern Railroad. The entire area is located in the Lower Eno River watershed, with Rhodes Creek and other tributaries flowing north through the area toward the Eno River. Floodplains on Rhodes Creek could be a somewhat restrictive for development. Soils unsuitable for development are located primarily along the streams. Slopes between 7.5 and 15 percent are scattered throughout the area,however, the majority of the area slopes are less than 7.5 percent. Slopes over 15 percent are concentrated along the drainageways. Existing land uses range from adjacent mobile home parks to a variety of service and commercial uses. Therefore, appropriate infill development is projected for this area. New commercial and industrial uses should be generally confined to the areas south of U.S. 70 and 1-85 in order to reduce negative impacts on the Eno River State Park. Access along U.S. 70 may be difficult in areas of moderate or steep slopes,however,the widening of 1-85 and the associated redesign of the interchange will provide greater access to adjoining properties. Moderate-density residential and low intensity office development has been located and/or natural vegetative buffers retained to "screen" existing neighborhoods from more intensive uses. 7.
