These proposed actions are measures to implement <br /> some of the recommendations contained in the adopted Efland-Mebane Small Area <br /> Plan. <br /> In the 2030 Comprehensive Plan, the Land Use and Zoning Matrix contained in <br /> Appendix F is proposed to be amended by adding a checkmark to potentially allow a <br /> special zoning overlay district in the following land use classifications: 20-Year <br /> Transition, Commercial Transition Activity Node, Commercial-Industrial Transition <br /> Activity Node, and Economic Development Transition Activity Node. <br /> The following Sections of the UDO are proposed for amendment: 2.5.7 and 4.4. <br /> Additionally, existing Sections 4.5 and 4.6 will be renumbered to 4.7 and 4.8, <br /> respectively. New Sections 4.5 and 4.6 will be inserted to establish the new zoning <br /> overlay districts. Existing Section 6.6.3 will be renumbered to be 6.6.5 and new <br /> Sections 6.6.3 and 6.6.4 will be inserted to establish standards for the two proposed <br /> zoning overlay districts. <br /> The proposed renumbering will also affect references to the sections proposed for <br /> renumbering. References will be updated in the following Sections: 4.5.1, 6.8.12, <br /> and 7.13.2. <br /> The Zoning Atlas is proposed to be amended in order to depict the geographic <br /> extent of the two overlay districts. <br /> The general geographic extent of the proposed "Efland Village Overlay District" is <br /> the railroad tracks that run through Efland to slightly north of U.S. Highway 70 with <br /> west-east boundaries of the Harding Road area and Gym Road. <br />
