J3 2. TOPOGRAPHY The land is primarily (100%) recently timbered land (less than 3 years). Near the northwest corner (USGS) perennial "blue line" stream begins on the proposed school site. The site's topography ranges in elevation from 670' around the midpoint of the parcel to approximately 685', which is a slope of 1 %, 3. WATERSHED The subject parcel is within the Upper Eno Watershed -protected. Impervious Surface Area requirements for this area are 70% for non-residential uses, such as this, when shuctural Best Management Practices are employed. The size of the site could acconunodate Best Management Practices for storrnwater and erosion control to promote water quality in the natural slope area near the northwestern area stream origination. I. E. LAND USE AND LAND USE C.OMPATIBILtTY 1. LAND USE AND ZONING The land use in this area pursuant to Orange County's Comprehensive Plan Land Use Element is an Economic Development District (EDD). The zoning is designated as Economic Development (EDLPrimary (T-85 Bucldrorn Economic Development District). The permitted use tables of the Economic Development District manual, permits public schools as a Class A Plamied Development. This district (including in and around the potential school site) perniits mixed uses. The mixed-use concept in the Economic Development Dishict could ensure that the `step down' transition between the intensity of other non-residential uses planned in the EDD and to ensure compatibility with schools and some higher intensity residential uses.. The volume of traffc linked to a school use and soccer complex is consistent with the traffic generated and anticipated in an Economic Development District. 2. ADJACENT PROPERTIES The lands neighboring and facing the proposed project area are mostly undeveloped large lots. There are some residential dwellings in the area. NeiQbboring Properties -East
