Wake County Land Use Plan _____________________________________________________________________________ SWALUP Land Use Classifications The following table describes the Land Use Classifications that are applicable to both the Urban Services Areas and Non-Urban Areas in the Southwest Wake County Area Land Use Plan (see Proposed Southwest ALUP Update Map). The description and policies associated with these Land Use Classifications applied to Urban Services Areas represent the County’s vision for how areas so classified will be developed in conjunction with the provision of urban facilities and services that make urban uses and intensities possible. Land Use Classification Description Critical Watershed Area
Land in a water supply watershed that is adjacent and draining to the water source, where it is most important to filter out potential pollutants. Land uses include shopping, services, recreation, and small-scale office and institutional uses needed to meet the day-to-day needs of the neighborhood. Examples are grocery or convenience store, pharmacy, video rental, dry cleaning or laundry, restaurant, service station, medical or dental practice, insurance agency, law firm, small neighborhood business office, school, daycare, church, park, and civic club. Land uses include those uses permitted in neighborhood activity centers, plus uses that provide goods and services needed less frequently than on a daily basis. Examples are commercial, civic or office and institutional, and medium and low density residential. Water Supply Watershed Critical Area (Jordan Lake) : Residential use – cluster and other subdivisions - up to 0.5 dwelling units per acre . The current recommended density for the water supply watershed critical area, which is shown on the Southwest Wake Area Land Use Plan Map (see pocket fold-out map), is proposed to be changed from a density of 1.75 dwelling units per acre to a recommended density of 0.5 dwelling units per acre. Water Supply Watershed Non-Critical Area : The recommended density for this area is up to 1 dwelling unit per acre . Non-Water Supply Watershed Area (Harris Lake- Cape Fear Watersheds) : The recommended density for this area is up to 0.5 dwelling units per acre . Non-Water Supply Watershed Area : The recommended density for this area is up to 1.5 dwelling units per acre . Main stream or lake buffers provide strips of natural vegetation that remove pollutants from stormwater runoff before they reach a water supply source or a watercourse that drains to a water supply source. Land uses include mostly forestry or possibly the making of electricity (non-nuclear) where at least 75% of site stays in its natural state. Includes lake / stream buffers.
