4 <br /> Attachment 1 <br /> acres were transferred into Alamance County from Orange County with the approval <br /> of the adjustment to the Orange/Alamance County Line by both county boards and <br /> the consent of the State. The affected properties are now zoned AR (Agricultural <br /> Residential). The new SFHA also included 8.4 acres within the Haw River floodway. <br /> The Zoning Atlas will be amended to include the 20.7 acres of SFHA transferred into <br /> Orange County. These acreage figures account for other acres transferred into <br /> Orange County, but are within the City of Mebane or its extra-territorial jurisdiction. <br /> 2. Analysis <br /> As per LIDO Section 2.8.5, the Planning Departmentprovides analysis and from the <br /> results of that analysis prepares a recommendation to the Planning Board and the <br /> BOCC. <br /> GIS evaluation confirmed the presence of the SFHA acreage. The 20.7 acres of <br /> SFHA transferred into Orange County are found on three different sites containing a <br /> total of ten (10) parcels. (Please refer to the maps in Attachment 2.) These <br /> transferred floodplain acres represent six (6) percent of the 320.41 acres of land area <br /> in the affected properties. No structures are involved in any transfer in or out of <br /> Orange County's jurisdiction. <br /> Another 0.75 acres of the 500-year floodplain were also transferred into Orange <br /> County, but these areas are not within the SFHA, and will not affect this zoning atlas <br /> amendment. <br /> 3.
