5.4 Maintain the unique identity and character of rural crossroad com- munities in Orange County. Allow development at these locations which is appropriate 'or each community and will not exceed the ce pacity of the natural or physical systems to support it. The fol- lowing crossroad communities have locational attributes which make them suitable to accomodate new commercial and residential growth a limited, community scale: Caldwell, Schley, Cedar Grove Village Carr and White Cross. 5.5 Designate land in areas changing from rural to urban in character which could reasonably be developed to accomodate urban-type den- sities, but are currently not completely served by urban systems such as water and sewer lines, as Transition areas. These areas v be further classified into 10-Year and 20-Year Transition areas tc reflect the most appropriate sequence of development as this area changes fran rural to Urban and services are extended:. 5.6 Allocate development in areas designated Ten and. Twenty Year Transition Areas proportional to land requirement projections. In Cheeks and Hillsborough Townships, the ratio of areas designate Ten and Twenty Year Transition to land requirements projections fc residential acreage is approximately 2.5:1. In Eno ToOnship, the ratio of areas designated Ten and Twenty Year Transition to land requirements projections for residential acreag is 4:1. In Chapel Hill Township, land designated Ten and Twenty Year Trans ition outside the planning jurisdictions can accomodate 25% of the projected population increase during the plan period. 5.7 Designate the rural, low density land surrounding the urban areas, but beyond the Transition Areas, as Rural Buffer. This area will main rural in character, will not require urban services and will maintain farming or rural non-farm residential development as the appropriate land use. Future consideration will be given to desig ing Rural Buffer areas around other Towns in the County. 5.8 Designate land in the rural areas suitable for low-density residen development, but not particularly suitable for agricultural uses, is not dependent on urban services and to which urban services wil be extended within the next twenty years as Rural Residential. 5.9 Allocate development in areas designated Rural Residential proport al to land requirements projections for the respective townships. In Little River, Cheeks, Hillsborough, Eno and Bingham Townships, ratio of areas designated Rural Residential to land, requirements p jections for residential acreage is 2:1. In Chapel Hill Township, land designated Rural Residential can ace odate 9% of the projected population increase during the plan peri 5.10 Designate land in areas where the prevailing land use activities c sist of agriculture and forestry and which should continue in then uses as Agricultural Residential, 5.11 Designate activity nodes of various types and functions at the into sections of major arterials and collectors in order to accomodate
