and Policies section of the Plan. The purpose of this approach is to account <br /> for both physical environmental factors (natural and social ) and for public <br /> values regarding the future of Orange County. <br /> The basic strategy of the County's land use planning process was identify <br /> and evaluate all potential activity nodes in the Township. These activity nodes <br /> are generally focused on major intersections and represent a point rather than <br /> an area concept. They must also meet the additional locational criteria listed <br /> previously. <br /> A total of six activity nodes have been designated in Cedar Grove Township. <br /> Two are Rural Community nodes, three-are Rural Commercial nodes aft -orre-ts--a- <br /> --Gommef.e4a4-nede-. The following is a description of these <br /> activity nodes. <br /> Location: N. C. Highway.49 and Carr Store Road (SR 1004) (Carr) (CG-1) <br /> Plan Category: Rural Community <br /> Analysis and Evaluation: Existing land uses at this node include a small store, <br /> a car wash and single family residential units. There are no significant <br /> environment constraints. The commercial facilities at this intersection make <br /> it a place where. local people go frequently and meet each other as well as shop. <br /> Location: Efland-Cedar Grove Road (SR 1004) and Carr Store Road (SR 1352, SR 1004) <br /> (Village) (CG-2) <br /> Plan -Category: Rural Community <br /> Analysis and Evaluation: A well established community character is present in <br /> the area of the node with three commercial uses, a church, a post office and <br /> several residences. No environmental constraints hinder further commercial <br /> development in the Upper Eno watershed and commercial development that does <br /> occur will require certain site design features to protect water quality. <br />
