February 2, 2011 <br />Page 2 <br />All of the above actions have been preparing the economic development growth corridor <br />for change. In anticipation of this and acknowledging that these actions have been over <br />an extended period, staff will be pursuing public outreach to affected areas. Some <br />areas have: <br />ED land use and zoning, <br />Commercial-Industrial land use and residential zoning (R-1), and <br />Agricultural-Residential land use and zoning. <br />These areas have been proposed for a land use and zoning change to prepare for <br />primarily non-residential economic development with a minor mixed use component. <br />This public outreach will discuss, inform and seek input on land use changes, existing <br />conditions and in-progress engineering utility design work where access and easements <br />will be necessary. <br />Staff is scheduling a public outreach meeting on March 7, 2011 at Gravelly Hill Middle <br />School at 7:00 pm to discuss the variety of topics aforementioned and update affected <br />property owners on the master plan for the area. The County is preparing a questions <br />and answers brochure that will explain a variety of common questions regarding land <br />use, economic development and engineering. We will also be noting public water and <br />service utility design options that could promote cost/service benefit efficiency. We will <br />report on these options at an upcoming engineering design contract update. <br />For questions, please call or email Craig Benedict, Planning Director, 919-245-2585, <br />cbenedict(a~co.orange.nc.us or Tom Altieri, Planner III, 919-245-2579, <br />talteriCa)_co.orange.nc.us. <br />
