:10 7 <br /> RURAL RESIDENTIAL: Much of the land in the southern third of <br /> the Township is classified as Rural Residential, which <br /> indicates a predominant land use of low density non-farm <br /> residential development. The Rural Residential lands in Eno <br /> Township have good access to both Hillsborough and Durham and <br /> are likely to attract much of the suburban development <br /> expected during the plan period. <br /> • TEN YEAR TRANSITION: Land along the western border of the <br /> • Township has been classified in this manner. This indicates <br /> that public services from the Town of Hillsborough are likely <br /> within ten years. Most of this Ten Year Transition area <br /> • consists of medium density subdivisions already served with a <br /> public water supply from the Town of Hillsborough. <br /> TWENTY YEAR TRANSIT/ON: The area along US70 and 1-85 from the <br /> Durham County line west to Stoney Creek and south to the <br /> Southern Railroad is classified as Twenty Year Transition. <br /> The area is within the Durham City urban growth area and part <br /> of it is already served by the City's water system. Other <br /> • urban services are expected in the area by the end of the <br /> plan period. The transportation system within the area is <br /> adequate for more intensive development. Two areas of Twenty <br /> Year Transition have also been designated along the western <br /> edge of the Township. The first area, in the southwest <br /> corner of the Township, generally surrounds Ten Year <br /> Transition Areas. The second area is north of the Eno River <br /> along St. Mary's Road. <br /> In addition to classifying the land in the County, the <br /> County's land use strategy has been to identify appropriate <br /> activity nodes in each Township. The purpose is to direct <br /> commercial and industrial uses to the most appropriate areas, <br /> avoiding strip development and promoting an efficient land <br /> use pattern focused on major intersections. Three activity <br /> nodes have been designated in Eno Township. <br /> REFERENCE: E-1 (Law's Store/Palmer's Grove) <br /> LOCATION: US70 Business/US70 Bypass and Palmer's Grove <br /> Church Road (SR1562) <br /> PLAN CATEGORY: Rural Neighborhood <br /> EVALUATION: This node, located at the intersection of two <br /> arterials, US70 Business and Bypass, has no environmental <br /> constraints to hinder small scale commercial development. <br /> REFERENCE: E-2 (Eno) <br /> LOCATION: US70 and 1-85 <br /> PLAN CATEGORY: Commercial-Industrial Transition <br /> EVALUATION: This node is focused on the intersection of two <br /> 3.10-16 <br /> rammumar---- <br />
