PURPOSE: To receive public comment on the proposed amendment to the Eno EDD Area Small
Area Plan revising the definition of the Eno Mixed Use proposed land use category to specify an
acreage limit for residential development within the Mixed Use area.
BACKGROUND:
The Eno Economic Development District (EDD) is located within Eno Township in the east-central
portion of Orange County. The planning area addressed in the Eno EDD Area Small Area Plan
(SAP) is comprised of approximately 942 acres. One of the land use recommendations contained
within the SAP is the establishment of a Mixed Use area that encompasses 297 acres of the
planning area, excluding rail and road rights of way (see Attachment 1). The proposed Mixed Use
area is envisioned as a mix of residential, commercial, office, services, and light industrial uses.
At the time of adoption of the Eno EDD Area Small Area Plan, the BOCC requested that staff
evaluate the proposed new Eno Mixed Use land use designation to determine the appropriate limits
on residential development within this new land use category and bring a recommendation .back to
the November 2008 Quarterly Public Hearing.
Staff evaluated the current land use patterns within the proposed Mixed Use area and recommends
that. a maximum of 25% of the land area within the district be permitted for residential development.
This acreage limit includes the existing Whispering Pines single-family residential subdivision in its
entirety, which encompasses 54 acres. Undeveloped lots within the subdivision may be developed
at the current density, as platted. However, new residential development within the Mixed Use area
shall be developed at or above the minimum density of six (6) units per acre. This allows
approximately 21 acres within the Eno Mixed Use area for new residential development. In
addition, staff recommends a provision that new residential development constructed above non-
residential uses shall not count toward the 25% acreage limit within the district.

Existing and Proposed "Eno Mixed Use" Definitions
Current:
Eno Mixed Use. Land located in areas served or to be served by public water
and sewer where a mix of residential, commercial, office, services, and light
industrial uses are appropriate. Residential uses within Mixed Use areas should
be have a minimum density of six (6) units per acre. Examples of housing at this
density include attached homes, patio homes, and apartments. Note: prior to
adoption of implementation measures, a percentage or acreage limit on
residential uses within the Mixed Use area should be determined. It is the intent
to limit the amount of residential uses in the Mixed Use area to encourage the
development of non-residential uses.
Proposed:
Eno Mixed Use. Land located in areas served or to be served by public water
and sewer where a mix of residential, commercial, office, services, and light
industrial uses are appropriate on a district-wide basis. Individual parcels may
contain a single use or more than one use. Ne_w residential uses within the
Mixed Use areas ~heu-Id shall have a minimum density of six (6) units per acre.
Examples of housing at this density include attached homes, patio homes, and
apartments.
' In order to
encourage non residential uses, no more than 25% of the acreage within the
district shall be comprised of residential uses on single-use aarcels. -However,.
residential units constructed above non-residential uses shall not count toward
the residential acreage limit.
