In order to allow for additional acreage for uses typically associated with <br /> residential development a multiplier of was applied to the additional residential <br /> acreage needs projected for 1990 and 2000. Adding the resulting non-residential <br /> acreage needs to the residential acreage needs the following total land use <br /> needs for the Township are projected: <br /> 1980-1990 1990-2000 1980-2000 <br /> 1494 2106 3600 <br /> Since industrial development usually has little or no market relationship to <br /> local residential development, it has not been calculated as part of the <br /> township needs. Instead, industrial land needs were computed for the entire <br /> County and included in the County-wide Summary, <br /> Framework and Application <br /> The following township policy statements represent the organizing concepts <br /> around which the land use plan for Eno Township has been constructed, <br /> 1 ) Central and northern Eno Township contains the best agricultural <br /> soils in the township and virtually all of the existing farms, <br /> Planning should protect this existing use. <br /> 2) The area in and aound the intersection of U,5. 70 and 1-85 and <br /> southeast to the Durham County line is an area suitable for <br /> commercial and industrial development. <br /> 3) The State of North Carolina has designated certain areas along <br /> the Eno River for development in its Master Plan for the Eno <br /> State Park. The Eno State Park Plan and the County Land Use <br /> Plan should be in agreement. <br /> 4) Duke Forest lands in southern Eno Township are a valuable research <br /> and teaching facility as, well as being available for public use. <br /> These lands should be protected from the negative impacts of develop- <br /> ment. <br /> 5) Low density residential development should be the predominant use <br /> in the southern portion of the township. <br />
