O4i Non-residential developments could have an impervious surface of up to 70% in five percent (5%) of the Little River and Flat River Watersheds. This represents the minimum standards required by the State mandate. Back Creek and South Hyco Creek Watersheds Residential development in the Back Creek and South Hyco Creek Watersheds is proposed to have a 40,000 square foot minimum lot size and 12% impervious surface limit, consistent with existing standards in the portion of the Back Creek watershed in Cheeks township. The portion of the Back Creek and South Hyco Creek watersheds in Cedar Grove Township is currently subject to the 40,000 square foot minimum lot size, but is not currently subject to impervious surface limits. Up to five percent (5%) of the watershed can be developed for non-residential use with an impervious surface of up to 70% of the lot. This represents the minimum standards required by the State Mandate. Lower Eno The minimum lot size in the L-ENO-PW overlay is as allowed by the underlying zoning district. The underlying zoning requires a 40,000 square foot minimum lot size, with exception of the area along Hwy 70 and NC 10 designated as Transition Area in the Comprehensive Plan. Within the Transition Area, where rezonings can be requested to allow up to 13 dwelling units per acre, the proposed standards would allow up to 50% impervious surface with detention ponds required in some cases if impervious surface exceeds 24%. Non-residential development, such as that allowed in the commercial and industrial Activity Nodes along Hwy 70 and NC 10, would be subject to an impervious-surface limit of 50%, with detention ponds required in some cases if impervious surface exceeds 24% Haw River and Jordan Lake The HAW-PW and JORDAN-PW overlays contain the minimum standards required by the State Mandate. However, the existing standards for the underlying _zoning districts (Agricultural Residential (AR) in the HAW-PW Overlay and Rural Buffer (RB) in the JORDAN-PW Overlay) are significantly more restrictive than the overlay standards. ZONING LITTLE RIVER AND CEDAR GROVE TOWNSHIPS In order to apply the watershed protection overlay districts to Cedar Grove and Little River Townships, it is necessary to extend zoning to those areas. The proposed zoning is consistent with the existing Comprehensive Plan. Agricultural Residential Zoning District The underlying zoning district of all of Cedar Grove Township and most of Little River Township is proposed to be the Agricultural Residential (AR) zoning district. This district allows a minimum lot size of 40,000 square feet or .92 acres. The
