Wake County currently has jurisdiction and has protections such as R-80W zoning, meaning only one residential unit per 2 acres.
The threat is, there is an adjacent town which plans to gain jurisdiction and eventually change the zoning to up to 10 townhouses per acre, so 20 times as densely populated, thus destroying 584+ acres of pristine forest and wildlife habitats in a sensitive watershed area.
