the intersection of N.C. 54 and Orange Chapel Clover Garden Road is also close by. Commercial uses, either existing or future, at these nodes will provide the necessary support services for the Rural Residential area. This area is also outside both the University Lake and Cane Creek watersheds. AGRICULTURAL RESIDENTIAL. The vast majority of the land area in the Township is classified as Agricultural Residential. This classification is to designate those areas where the land use activities are predominately related to the cultivation of the land or the use of land as pasture. The intent is to provide for the preservation of land suitable for agriculture, silviculture and horticulture uses. WATER SUPPLY WATERSHED. In Bingham Township this classification applies to the University Lake and Cane Creek water supply watersheds (In the case of Cane Creek the designation refers to the part of the watershed that will drain into the proposed reservoir.). This classification includes lands that drain to existing reservoirs which are public water supplies for Orange County or to potential reservoir sites which have been designated for protection. These watersheds need to be protected from the impacts of development which MftEht cause water quality problems for existing public water supplies or preempt the future utilization of poten- tial reservoir sites. RURAL BUFFER. This area extends into Bingham Township from Chapel Hill Township generally coinciding with the boundaries of the University Lake watershed. The purpose for this classification is to designate land near or within the urbanizing area of Chapel Hill and Carrboro that should remain rural in character and not require urban-type services. It should contain very low density residential uses and agriculture uses. In addition to classifying the land in the County, the County's land use planning strategy has been to identify and evaluate potential activity nodes in the Township. The purpose of the activity is to direct commercial and industrial uses to the most appropriate areas in the Township, preventing strip-type development, and promoting a more compact and efficient land use pattern focused on major intersections in the Township. A total of five activity nodes have been designated in Bingham Township.
