Orange County's practice for adopting small area plans calls for implementation measures to be adopted subsequently as separate actions. Essentially, the small area plans in Orange County are documents that oontaintask force recommendations with implementation of those recommendations to occur at a later date. The following presents an update on the actions required to implement some of the recommendations contained in the three adopted small area plans. Efland-Mebane Small Area Plan • The BOCC adopted the Efland-Mebane SAP on June 27, 2006.. Further . implementation of the plan (one implementation measure--the Efland Cheeks Zoning Overlay District—has been adopted)will require additional actions. Specifically, the following actions must be completed: 1. Adopt the Efland-Mebane SAP as part of the Comprehensive Plan; 2. • Decide whether the suggested changes to the Water and Sewer Management Planning and Boundary.Agreement will be pursued. lithe suggested changes are to be pursued, this action needs to occur first. 3. Revise the Land.Use Element map to reflect the Possible Future Land Use Map contained in the SAP and revise the Land Use Element text to include the new land use categories. 4. Develop a tong-range Master Plan For water and sewer services. Additionally, an engineering study of the existing Orange-Alamance Water System (PAWS) should be completed in cooperation with OAWS. 5. Develop design guidelines for the designated Mixed Use Efland Core Area. 6. Additional Zoning Ordinance text changes will likely be necessary in order to increase density in the planning area, as the SAP suggests.
