This area is further defined as being in transition from rural fo urban or already urban in density. Urban services (public utilities and other town services) are now provided to this area or are projected to be provided to this area. Rural Buffer is defined as follows in section 1 2.G as being: That portion of the Joint Planning Area designated on the Joint Planning Area Land Use Map as such and designated in the Joint Planning Area Land Use Plan as Rural Residential, Agricultural, Public/Private Open Space, Resource Conservation, Extractive/Disposal Use and the overlay district designated University Lake Watershed Area. This area is further defined as being alow- densify area consisting of single-family homes situated on large lots having a minimum size of two (2) acres.

Page 3: Amend map to change the designation of the Chapel Hill Southern Transition Area to Rural Buffer. b. Page 60: Under *Suburban Residential Areas, remove amendment date and paragraph which addresses lower residential densities resulting from the Southern Small Area Plan for certain areas in the Southern Triangle. c. Page 72: Under *Suburban Residential Areas, remove amendment date and paragraph which addresses lower residential densities resulting from the Southern Small Area Plan for certain areas in the Southern Triangle. d. Page 78-c: Remove Southern Small Area Plan Map. (Note: Items b, c, and d refer to the Southern Small Area Plan, adopted as an amendment to the Joint Planning Area Land lJse Plan in 1993. The Southern Small Area Plan recommended that residential densities for the Chapel Hill Southern Transition Area be changed from one to five units per acre to one unit per acre for areas immediately east of US 15-501 and one unit per five acres for areas immediately west of Old Lystra Road; the SSAP did not recommend removing the area from that ultimately to receive urban services).
