14 <br /> zoning is the regulatory tool, the current zoning means that only uses allowed in R-1 would be <br /> permitted on these properties. R-1 is primarily for residential uses and a few other compatible <br /> use types, as shown in the Table of Permitted Uses in Section 5.2 of the UDO. <br /> It should also be noted that the EDE-1 zoning district allows a variety of residential uses, <br /> including single family residential; new residential uses would be permitted in the EDE-1 zoning <br /> district. EDE-2 zoning does not allow residential uses. Future Land Use and zoning <br /> amendments may be necessary only if the decision is made that all non-residential <br /> development in the Eno EDD should be served by public water and sewer systems or if there <br /> are other reasons for pursuing amendments. If amendments are pursued, a determination will <br /> need to be made regarding which Future Land Use classification and/or zoning district should <br /> be applied to the map(s). <br /> As a reminder, any new non-residential development in the area is required to adhere to all of <br /> the standards and regulations contained in the UDO, including proper buffering from adjacent <br /> uses and performance standards related to noise, vibration, outdoor storage, and other impacts <br /> (see Section 6.4 of the UDO). <br /> Additional maps that may prove useful in understanding the area are included in Attachment 4: <br /> • Existing Residential / Non-Residential / Undeveloped parcels <br /> • A map of developed and undeveloped lots in Whispering Pines subdivision (which is <br /> designated as 10-Year Transition on the Future Land Use map). As a historical note, <br /> many/most of the undeveloped lots remained so because suitable septic sites could not <br /> be located on the lots. <br /> Water & Sewer Management, Planning & Boundary Agreement (WASMPBA) <br /> The entire Eno EDD plus lands well to the south of the EDD are designated as "Primary Service <br /> Area" on the WASMPBA map (Attachment 5). Since mobile home parks in the area may <br /> eventually need public water service for both household use and fire suppression, staff <br /> suggests that the current WASMPBA boundaries remain as is. <br /> Potential Amendments <br /> The maps in Attachment 6 depict potential amendments to pull back a portion of the EDD <br /> expansion that occurred in 2012 and rezone the properties back to R-1 (Rural Residential). <br /> Staff is seeking BOCC direction on whether Future Land Use Map and Zoning Atlas <br /> amendments should be pursued at this time. The potential amendments are as follows: <br /> Future Land Use Map Zoning <br /> 112.2 acres from Economic 112.2 acres from EDE-1 to R-1 <br /> Development to 10-Year Transition <br /> The 10-Year Transition land use classification is for"areas changing from rural to urban in form <br /> and density. All densities of residential development would be appropriate. Non-residential <br /> uses implemented in accordance with small area plans and/or overlay districts may be <br /> appropriate." The Land Use and Zoning Matrix in Appendix F of the Comprehensive Plan <br /> identifies the following potential zoning districts for 10-Year Transition areas: R-1, R-2, R-3, R- <br /> 4, R-5, R-8, R-13, MPD-CD, HP-CD, R-CD, NR-CD, and Special Zoning Overlay District. <br />
