16 through the use of three principal land use categories: Primary Development, Secondary Development, and Open Space Areas. Primary Development Areas. Primary Development Areas are intended to accommodate the full range of light industrial, distribution,retail,office, and service uses. To assure that land for such development is available in the future, residential uses, other than those presently existing,are not allowed. Uses permitted in Primary as well as Secondary Development Areas are identified in the following section, 2.2 - Permitted Uses. Secondary Development Areas. Secondary Development Areas are intended to provide a "step-down"or land use buffer between Primary Development Areas and residentially zoned or developed properties.Within these areas, only a limited number of residential and office uses are allowed. Where residential development is contemplated, moderate densities ranging from two to four dwelling units per acre are permitted. In some instances, specific densities have been identified to assure that the proper "step-down" is provided between existing residential development and more intensive uses.As an example, an R-2 designation or density limit of two dwelling units per acre has been assigned to land adjacent to the Stagecoach Run Subdivision where lot sizes of one-and-one-half acres are common. In the case of the I-40/01d NC 86 District,the Secondary Development Area has been divided into "Secondary I" and "Secondary II" areas. The Secondary I portion has the same features as described above; e.g., limited residential and office uses,and specific density limits. In the Secondary II area,the range of permitted uses is similar to that of the Primary Development Area,, with only :tail uses being limited. Another significant difference is the higher landscape-to-building ratios required in a Secondary II Development Area. Eco ornct Deve/opmentDistricts Design Manual Page 2.r.2
