Attachment A -6 <br />PAGE 84-JPA LAND USE PLAN <br />Cluster subdivisions, reducing parcels to at least 1 acre in area, are allowed to as long as <br />density limits for the entire subdivision are maintained . The Rural Residential designation is <br />identical to the Rural Buffer category contained in the current Orange County Land Use Plan. <br />The Rural Buffer category is described in the Plan as land adjacent to an Urban or Transition <br />area which is rural in character and which should remain rural ; contain very low-density <br />residential uses, agricultural uses exem pt from zonin g re gulations, and low-intensity <br />agricultural support uses: and not require urban services (water and sewer) during the Plan <br />period. <br />Agricultural areas existing within Transition Areas are expected to change from rural <br />to urban uses as Chapel Hill and Carrboro continue to grow and as public water and sewer <br />services are expanded. Agricultural areas are located principally in University Lake <br />Watershed but are also prominent along the northern perimeter of the Planning Area <br />boundary. As development occurs in these areas, it will be of very low-density in nature and <br />will generally consist of farm dwelling and outbuildings in support of agricultural operations. <br />To the north of Chapel Hill and Carrboro in the New Hope Creek drainage basin, low- <br />density residential development has taken place along Whitfield Road, Sunrise Road and <br />Erwin Road. Residential developments similar to Sedgefield , Stoneridge, Oak Hills, <br />Birchwood Lake Estates and Falls of the New Hope are expected to continue, relying on <br />wells and septic tanks for water supply and sewer disposal. <br />To the west of Carrboro, Rural Residential development is also expected in <br />University Lake Watershed. However, only low-density residential and agricultural uses are <br />anticipated . Development will continue to rely on wells and septic tanks for water supply <br />and sewage disposal. <br />The remaining area designated for Rural Residential and Agricultural development is <br />the Southern Triangle area in the extreme southeastern portion of the County. The area <br />drains to the southeast toward Jordan Lake and is beyond the ridge line of the Morgan <br />Creek basin, an area which can be served by gravity sewer lines. The Southern Triangle is <br />also characterized by environmental constraints such as steep slopes, flood plains and soils <br />with poor stability, so low-density development is projected. <br />There are approximately 9,260 acres of land designated for Rural Residential and <br />Agricultural _purposes in the Land Use Plan . If developed at an average density of one <br />dwelling unit per two acres with 15% of the area subtracted out fo r streets and roads, the <br />holding capacity of the area in terms of dwellings is 3,935 . If multiplied by the 1980 Census <br />figure for population per household (2 .6), the estimated population would be 10,231. <br />Text below the section proposed for amendment has been removed . <br />73
