Stoney Creek Basin EDE-1 vs. EDE-2 <br /> The EDE-2 is suggested by staff because of the frontage along 1-85 and its <br /> relative isolation between the interstate, Mt. Herman Church Road, railroad <br /> tracks, and high voltage primary electric transmission lines. The opposite side <br /> (east) of the road is also presently EDE-2. Also to the east is Existing <br /> Commercial zoning (EC-5). <br /> 2. Resource Protection Areas (RPA) <br /> RPAs are a layer of the land use plan and are still operational in the Unified <br /> Development Ordinance (UDO) to protect environmental areas (i.e. stream buffers, <br /> steep slopes, etc.). <br /> 3. What is light industrial; compare Orange County and Durham County? <br /> The uses were discussed during the Eno EDD SAP meetings and comparability was <br /> achieved. Uses are not of the higher impact industrial. List of specific uses were <br /> added to webpage. <br /> 4. Why now public utilities? <br /> This area has been noted as an urban growth land use since 1981 and reconfirmed <br /> in 1994 and 2008. Recommendations in the Eno Small Area Plan suggested an <br /> agreement with the City of Durham which was accomplished in January 2012. <br /> Orange County is facilitating the proposed land use pattern since any one small or <br /> large business could not afford to build infrastructure. Job growth is more important <br /> than ever in designated areas. 84% of the county is rural and only 16% including <br /> cities and along interstates is designated as Urban. <br /> 5. Annexation <br /> These land use and zoning amendments do not create annexation programs. If a <br /> new business or resident wants public water and sewer, they will sign a voluntary <br /> annexation form and if the City of Durham decides the petition meets state law and is <br /> fiscally feasible then it may be annexed. (See annexation monograph from City of <br /> Durham) <br /> 6. Why are there two plans Orange County and City of Durham? <br />
