This <br />notification is occurring in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.3 Comprehensive <br />Plan Amendments of the Unified Development Ordinance. <br />Land Use Element Map amendments are necessary for consistency with the Water and <br />Sewer Management Planning and Boundary Agreement (WASMPBA) and engineering <br />design for public sewer in the Efland area. This amendment is also consistent with <br />recommendations included in the Efland- Mebane Small Area Plan. The proposed Land <br />Use Element Map amendment is approximately 47 -acres near Efland and Brookhollow <br />Road, along the south side of McGowan Creek from Agricultural Residential to 10 -Year <br />Transition (See Map). <br />Your property is proposed to be included in the 10 -Year Transition land use <br />category. This action, if approved by the Board of County Commissioners, would <br />create future rezoning potential from a low- density residential district to higher - density <br />residential districts. This action does not affect the present use of your property and its <br />zoning. <br />The Orange County Board of Commissioners and Planning Board will hold a Joint <br />Public Hearing on the proposed changes on Monday, November 21, 2011 at 7:00 <br />p.m. at the Department of Social Services located at 113 Mayo Street (Hillsborough <br />Commons Shopping Center) in Hillsborough, North Carolina. Interested persons are <br />invited to address the boards with their comments regarding the proposed amendments <br />at this Joint Public Hearing. <br />If you cannot attend the Joint Public Hearing and have questions about the proposed <br />amendments, you may call (919) 245 -2575 during regular business hours and you will <br />be directed to a staff person who can assist you. <br />Sincerely, <br />Craig N.
