Land Classification Categories <br /> The land use plan for Eno Township reflects the organizing concepts <br /> outlined in the previous section. Land in Eno township has been classified <br /> into the following five categories, <br /> Agricultural-Residential : The central and northern areas of the Township <br /> are areas where agriculture is an important use of the land and economic <br /> activity. They have been classified agricultural-residential . <br /> Public Interest Areas: The plan recognized the existing State Park lands <br /> along the Eno River and the sections of Duke Forest in Eno Township which are <br /> available for public use. They are classified as public interest areas worthy <br /> of protection from incompatible land uses. <br /> Environmentally Sensitive Areas: The environmentally sensitive areas in <br /> the township include flood-prone areas along the Eno River as well as several <br /> of its tributaries. Some of the flood-prone lands along the Eno are proposed <br /> for inclusion in the Eno State Park to link the existing sections and complete <br /> the linear character of the park. <br /> Urban Transition: The area along U. S. 70 and 1-85 from the Durham-Orange <br /> County line to the intersection of these roads in Eno Township has been classi- <br /> fied as urban transition. The area is an extension of the expanding Durham <br /> City urban area and part of it is currently provided with water by the City of <br /> Durham. It also contains several large tracts of land which are zoned commer- <br /> cial or industrial . Transportation access is obviously good. <br /> Rural Residential : The remaining land in the southern portion of the <br /> township has been classified rural residential . It is an area of the Township <br /> with good access to the City of Durham which will in the future attract sub- <br /> urban-type development, <br />
