Eno EDD Area Small Area Plan -Proposed Future Land Use Map 2. Existing and proposed Eno Mixed Use definition INFORMATION CONTACT: Name Phone Number Craig Benedict, Director 245-2592 Perdita Holtz, Planner 111 245-2611 Shannon Berry, Planner II 245-2589 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.
