'71 <br /> AGRICULTURAL RESIDENTIAL: The central and northern areas of the <br /> Township, where agriculture and forestry are important land uses, <br /> are classified in this manner. Areas to the west of Pleasant Green <br /> Road and seeth of the Cate ' s Ford portion of Eno River State Park <br /> are also classified in this manner as a means of buffering the <br /> Park. - <br /> RURAL RESIDENTIAL: Much of the land in the southern third of the <br /> Township is classified as Rural Residential, which indicates a <br /> predominant land use of low density non-farm residential <br /> development. The Rural Residential lands in Eno Township have good <br /> access to both Hillsborough and Durham and are likely to attract <br /> much of the suburban development expected during the plan period. <br /> TEN YEAR TRANSITION: Land along the western border of the Township <br /> has been classified in this manner. This indicates that public <br /> services from the Town of Hillsborough are likely within ten years . <br /> Most of this Ten Year Transition area consists of medium density <br /> subdivisions already served with a public water supply from the <br /> Town of Hillsborough. <br /> TWENTY YEAR TRANSITION: The area along US 70 and I-85 from the <br /> Durham County line west to Stoney Creek and south. to the Southern <br /> Railroad is classified as Twenty Year Transition. The area is <br /> within the Durham City urban growth area and part of it is already <br /> served by the City' s water system. Other urban services are <br /> expected in the area by the end of the plan period. The <br /> transportation system within the area is adequate for more <br /> intensive development. Two areas of Twenty Year Transition have <br /> also been designated along the western edge of the Township. The <br /> first area, in the southwest corner of the Township, generally <br /> surrounds Ten Year Transition Areas. The second area is north of <br /> the Eno River along St. Mary' s Road. <br /> In addition to classifying the land in the County, the County ' s <br /> land use strategy has been to identify appropriate activity nodes <br /> in each Township. The purpose is to direct commercial and , <br /> industrial uses to the most appropriate areas, avoiding strip <br /> development and promoting an efficient land use pattern focused on <br /> major intersections. Three activity nodes have been designated in <br /> Eno Township. <br /> REFERENCE: E-1 (Law' s Store/Palmer' s Grove) <br /> LOCATION: US 70 Business/US 70 Bypass and Palmer' s Grove <br /> Church Road (SR 1562) <br /> PLAN CATEGORY: Rural Neighborhood <br /> EVALUATION: This node, located at the intersection of two <br /> arterials, US 70 Business and Bypass, has no environmental <br /> constraints to hinder small scale commercial development. <br /> REFERENCE: E-2 (Eno) <br /> LOCATION: US 70 and (1-85) <br /> PLAN CATEGORY: Commercial-Industrial Transition <br /> 3 . 10-16 <br />
