(Page 3.8-9) 72 Organizing Concepts The following Township policy statements represent the organizing concepts around which the Land Use Plan for Cheeks Township has been constructed: 1) The Towns' of Mebane and Hillsborough extra-territorial planning jurisdictions are the designated Ten Year Transition Areas for immediate and near future residential development at urban densities: • 2) The community of Efland, though unincorporated, is considered to be urban in character and is designated Ten Year Transition for immediate and near future residential development at urban densities. 3) Residential development at urban densities will occur much later in the development pattern in the area north of US 70 and north of the Town of Mebane's extra-territorial planning jurisdiction. Such development is also likely to occur along the US 70 corridor extending both east and west from Efland. 4) The remainder of the study area is considered appropriate for low density rural residential development. 5) The areas in the immediate vicinities of Efland, the I-85Buckhorn Road interchange and the US 70Buckhorn Road intersection are suitable for commercial and industrial .. uses. These areas are referenced as the Efland Center (CK-1) Miles South (CK-3) and Miles North (CK-2) Commercial Industrial Transition activity nodes. 6) Duke Forest, undeveloped county-owned lands in the Seven Mile Creek drainage basin, and the Moorefields Estate are considered public interest areas. 7) The portion of the Upper Eno Watershed in :o " ` .$:: thAti# 1.Ncfi r ► is designated as a protected water supply watershed providing public water supplies to Hillsborough and the Efland-Mebane area. 8) The portion of the Back Creek Watershed in Cheeks Th `" ELEbii {J::ri4}-•:S{::i•iii.::.}: �{•}$:�:•i:•:�:iii•}:•i:C•:i4}}ri•:i•:-::f:i^::.�.k: the? d '±± • v ' including, but not limited to, Back Creek and Mill Creek, is designated as a protected water supply watershed providing public water supplies to Mebane and Graham. •,•:..•.•.•:..�::.......... :... .}::J[t#i�!M :i...:..;:{.}:{:.{ ..{!i}'n,';:':...•.:...::.i":(:: }:$::'!:?::•i.!{�:.{::.:::{.}....per.:�•i:':i:::::: �...+ffip�•;.........�..�•:•i'n{•:{},Y/..4.i:•:viil{:i .:::.:.. . :}':::: '.•i }...... 1/IIF:•: .......... ... Population Projections and Land Reouirements: 1980-2000 One of the initial and fundamental steps in the land use planning process is the calculation of the amount of land required to accommodate projected growth in an area. Generally, the amount of land required for residential and associated non-residential and commercial uses is directly related to the size of the population. The following tables summarize the population projections and estimated land requirements for Cheeks Township during the plan period: Table 6-7 summarizes population estimates and projections, while Table 6-7a projects the number of new homes required to meet the demands of new residents, and Table 6-7b projects land use requirements for the plan period. 7
