Land in Little River Township has been classified into Land Use Plan categories according to public policy as expressed in the Orange County Land Use Goals and draft Policies, its proximity to urban areas and sewer and water services and a set of locational criteria which define the environmental con- text. Accordingly, Little River Township has been classified into the following Land Use Plan categories: Agricultural-Residential , Environmentally Sensitive, Rural Community Nodes, Rural Industrial Activity Nodes and Rural Commercial Activity Nodes. The majority of the Township is classified as Agricultural-Residential . This designation recognizes the fact that Little River Township is rural and agriculturally oriented. The Environmentally, Sensitive, areas in the Township are the flood hazard areas along major streams. In addition to classifying these areas of land, the County's land use planning strategy has been to identify and evaluate a number of potential Activity Nodes in the Township. These activity nodes are generally focused on major intersections and represent a point rather than an area concept. A total of six Activity Nodes have been designated on the Plan for Little River Township. Location; NC 57 and NC 157 (Guess Road) Plan Category: Rural Community (LR-1) Analysis and Evaluation: This node is located at the intersection of two arterial highways. A multi-use community with a recognized social identity exists in the area of this node. Several commercial uses, a church, a fire station and several residences comprise this rural community. No material environmental constraints hinder development of a rural community node in this area. The lack of public water and sewer over the 20-year plan horizon will determine in part the degree of commercial and institutional activity in this area.
