Commissioner Jacobs said that the Efland-Mebane Small Area Plan is based on US 70 and not the interstate. If it were going to be worded consistently, it should say, "major transportation corridors,"and not necessarily interstates. A motion was made by Commissioner Jacobs, seconded by Commissioner Yuhasz to receive the proposal to amend the text of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan; refer the matter to the Planning Board with a request that a recommendation be retumed to the County Board of Commissioners in time for the June 21, 2011 BOCC regular meeting; and adjourn the public hearing until June 21, 2011 in order to receive and accept the Planning Board's recommendation and any submitted written comments.
