PURPOSE: To authorize staff to proceed with steps for the development and adoption of the
Eno Economic Development District (EDD) Access Management Plan according to the
schedule proposed in the Amendment outline (Attachment 1).
BACKGROUND: The Eno Economic Development District (EDD) Area Small Area Plan
(adopted June 24, 2008; amended February 3, 2009) recommended the approval of an access
management program for US 70 and Old Highway 10 to provide better transportation systems
and capacities as development proceeds in the area.
Since adoption, several Plan recommendations have been implemented including:
• Land Use Plan Map amendments designating the development potential categories of
the Eno EDD; and
• Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) amendments for the creation and regulation of
uses and development standards for the Eno EDD.
Additionally, there has been progress with the Plan's Water and Sewer recommendations:
• An inter-local utility service agreement with the City of Durham was adopted in January
2012;
• A consultant (CDM Smith) was hired to complete a preliminary engineering study for a
public water and sewer master plan;
• Other transportation topics;
• Potential long-term commuter rail station planning;
• New east-west bus route and planning for park and ride lots;
• I-85/US 70 interchange design;
• Private rail crossing closures; and
• High speed rail potential issues.

These initiatives are in preparation for economic development in the Eno EDD area which
comprises approximately 562 acres of land. Land development in the EDD is intended to occur
under Orange County development regulations in coordination with Durham.
As properties are developed for non-residential land uses, transportation interconnectivity and
access will become increasingly important. In preparation, staff is recommending the BOCC
initiate a process to formally adopt an access management plan for the area. Formally adopted
transportation plans are necessary to procure federal and state funding for projects and to
require developer action and contribution in providing transportation infrastructure consistent
with a master plan. Adopted access management plans can also be incorporated into regional
transportation plans, which will enhance Orange County's collaboration with the western and
eastern Metropolitan Planning Organizations. A UDO amendment was adopted in August 2011
to further require integration of development proposals (whether through conditional zoning or
site plans) to adopted access management plans.
Attachment 1, for the Board's review and approval, is an Amendment outline providing the
rationale, process, and implications of the development and adoption of the Eno EDD Access
Management Plan.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: Other than staff time, there is no financial impact associated with
receiving, considering and authorizing the staff to proceed with for the development and
adoption of the Eno EDD Access Management Plan. This work will be completed by existing
Planning staff in the Department's Comprehensive Planning Division. Following development
and adoption, Plan implementation will be performed by staff and coordinated with the City of
Durham and the North Carolina Department of Transportation as warranted.
RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends the Board:
1. Approve the attached Amendment form (Attachment 1) for the Eno EDD Access
Management Plan; and
2. Direct Planning staff to proceed accordingly.

The Eno Economic Development District (EDD) Access Management Plan will
implement a recommendation from the Eno EDD Small Area Plan, adopted by the
BOCC in 2008. An adopted access management program will provide for improved
transportation systems and capacities as development proceeds in the area. Formally
adopted transportation access management plans are necessary to procure federal and
state funding for projects, and to require developer compliance with the plan. Adopted
access management plans can also be incorporated into regional transportation plans,
which will enhance the County's collaboration with the Durham-Chapel Hill-Carrboro
Metropolitan Planning Organization (DCHC MPO).
