desires for flexibility in the regulation of <br />uses. Non-residential uses range from <br />occupations or businesses conducted within <br />homes, to agricultural businesses and even <br />low intensity service and commercial uses. <br />While the ordinance is set up to protect the <br />community, it also allows citizens some <br />freedom in how they use their property. <br /> <br />Residential areas are shown on the map by <br />density. There are three areas of medium <br />density residential. Medium density <br />residential indicates up to four units per <br />acre. Overall intensities will probably be <br />lower than this. In the northwest comer of <br />the planning area is a residential area just <br />below the Rocky River. This area currently <br />has some residential development, and its <br />proximity to sewer service and other growth <br />areas indicates that it is an area proper for <br />development between one and four units per <br />acre. It should be noted that Rahmoc <br />Enterprises is also located in this area and its <br />continued operation is not discouraged. <br />Medium Density Residential (MDR) zoning <br />also pemfits some non-residential activity. <br /> <br />The second area of medium density <br />residential is the main growth area of <br />Midland. This area is currently experiencing <br />a large amount of residential growth and it is <br />felt that this will continue. Future sewer <br />service, as provided by the Upper Muddy <br />Creek sewer line, in combination with <br />location near the crossroads and <br />employment areas makes this the most <br />appropriate area for residential growth. <br /> <br />The final area of future residential <br />development is indicated around old <br />Midland. This area is recommended for <br />both medium density and high density <br />development (five or more units per acre). <br /> <br />This type of development will rely entirely <br />on the availability of sewer service, which is <br />currently available, and the development of <br />an employment base in and around the old <br />town center. <br /> <br />The map also shows an area designated as a <br />"Rural Preservation Area." Unlike the low <br />density areas that are shown, this is an area <br />that either is or will be experiencing growth <br />pressure. It is felt that while the soils could <br />allow growth up to and even below one unit <br />per acre, the proper development of this area <br />should be low density. Further, it is felt that <br />actions should be taken to ensure that the <br />rural heritage of this area be preserved. This <br />area also contains land uses, such as the rock <br />quarry and scattered businesses, that are part <br />of the rural landscape and are not <br />discouraged by this plan. <br /> <br />The Rural Preservation Area (RPA) is <br />currently zoned as a Countryside Residential <br />district. This zoning has controls to help <br />preserve and protect the scenic quality of <br />rural areas. <br /> <br />As a reminder, the plan discusses ultimate <br />development. The densities being discussed <br />are for new developments. Overall <br />intensities in those same areas will remain <br />considerably lower. When looking at <br />ultimate development, a planning horizon of <br />at least 25 years is envisioned. One should <br />not expect all of these issues or densities to <br />be realized overnight or even in the next <br />several years. <br /> <br />Commercial and Office <br />Commercial and office growth areas are <br />shown primarily along US 601 and NC <br />24/27. Most of the commercial and office <br />growth should take place around the <br /> <br />21 <br /> <br /> <br />
