186 Class 1 - Permanent Research Forest Class 2 - Research Project Land Class 4 - Residual Endowment Land A fourth class, Class 3 - Institutional Use Land, 1 included lands for campus expansion in Durham County. To address the three classes of Duke Forest lands, there are two Public Interest District zoning districts proposed. The PID-I District is applied to Duke Forest lands designated as Class 1 - Permanent Research Forest where the existing uses are expected to continue for at least 20 years. For those areas designated Class 2 - Research Project Land where the planning horizon is less than 20 years, a PID-II classification is applied. Tracts of land designated Class 4-Residual Endowment Land would be placed in the same residential zoning classification as adjoining parcels. For example, if a portion of Duke Forest were designated Class 4, and it was surrounded by parcels zoned RB-Rural Buffer, the tract would be recommended for rezoning to that zoning category. Properties other than those owned by Duke University and proposed for designation as Public Interest Area 411 are: Eno River State Park; Moorefields Estate; Land surrounding Corporation Lake, University Lake, and Lake Michael; County-owned land at the Seven-mile Creek reservoir site; UNC Botanical Gardens; and Land owned by the Army Corps of Engineers in the southeast corner of the County. PID-I zoning is proposed for all of the above areas. The owners of all property affected by the rezoning have been contacted and the uses permitted in the proposed zoning districts include all anticipated uses. In addition to the rezonings described above, Zoning Ordinance text amendments are proposed. The amendments are summarized below.
