190 <br /> (A fourth class, Class 3 - Institutional Use Land, included <br /> 411 <br /> lands for campus expansion in Durham County. ) <br /> STRATEGY <br /> To address the three classes of Duke Forest lands, the <br /> following strategy was developed by the Planning Staff: <br /> 1. Amend the current PID - Public Interest District <br /> zoning classification to provide for two classes of <br /> PID designation, corresponding to Class 1 and Class. <br /> 2 above. <br /> a. Public Interest District-I (PID-I) <br /> The PID-I district would be established to <br /> preserve and protect certain public and <br /> private lands deemed of public interest where <br /> the use of the land for a designated purpose <br /> was assured for a period of at least twenty <br /> (20) years. The district would most closely <br /> align with the Class 1 - Permanent Research <br /> Forest Lands proposed by Duke Forest. <br /> The PID-I district would be essentially the <br /> same as the current PID designation with a <br /> minimum lot size of 500,000 sq. ft. or 11.5 <br /> acres. The types of uses permitted will <br /> include those which preserve significant <br /> natural or man-made resources, or are <br /> associated with an academic or research <br /> forest, public reservoir, or public parkland. <br /> The attached Permitted Use Table indicates <br /> specifically which land uses are proposed to <br /> be permitted in each zone. <br /> b. Public Interest District-II (PID-II) <br /> The PID-II district would be established to <br /> preserve and protect certain public and <br /> private lands deemed of public interest, and <br /> private educational lands where the use of the <br /> land for a designated purpose be assured for a <br /> period of between five (5) and twenty (20) <br /> years. The district would most closely align <br /> with the Class 2 - Research Project Lands <br /> proposed by Duke Forest. <br /> The minimum lot size is proposed to be five <br /> (5) acres in size. Permitted uses would be <br /> similar to those listed above. <br />
