These rezonings are for land that is already consistent with the Joint Land Use Plan, or for property that is currently under review for possible change in designation. 4. The Town of Carrboro has requested that the zoning designation of Rural Buffer currently applied to the aforementioned 400-foot buffer strip south of Duke Forest be changed to Carrboro Rural Residential (RR), pending the land use plan amendment request in item 3 above. If the plan amendment (as defined above) is approved, Carrboro zoning would need to be implemented on the 400-foot buffer strip south of Duke Forest. The Town of Carrboro has requested that their RR zoning be so placed, since it is consistent with the land located south of the current 400-foot buffer. 5. The Town of Chapel Hill is requesting that a zoning change be, approved for a 178-acre tract located south of Eubanks Road and known as the "Green tract" in the Joint Land 1.151 Plan area (please see site #5 on the attached map).

This district is designed for land used for agricultural, low-intensity residential or open space uses, but ■ which is projected in the Town's Comprehensive Plan for conversion to more intense urban uses when services are needed and available.
