This notification is occurring in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.8 Zoning Atlas and Unified Development Ordinance Amendments of the Orange County Unified Development Ordinance (UDO). The Planning Director has initiated amendments, consistent with the Efland- Mebane Small Area Plan developed by a community task force and adopted by the Board of County Commissioners in 2006, to the Zoning Atlas and accompanying text changes to the UDO that will establish two new zoning overlay districts in the Efland Area (see enclosed map for locations). Your property, or portion thereof, lies within the boundary of one of the two proposed overlay districts. Additionally, your property is likely located within 500 -feet of other affected parcels. The proposed zoning overlay districts will implement some of the recommendations contained in the Efland- Mebane Small Area Plan (the plan is available on -line at: hftp://orangecountync.gov/planninci/admin EM SAP.asp). The primary purpose of the proposed amendments is to modify existing development regulations to provide for a more village and urban style of development in an area of the county served, or intended to be served, by public water and sewer systems. Planning Department staff will hold an "open house" style public information meeting on Wednesday, November 14, 2012 at the Efland- Cheeks Community Center (117 Richmond Road, Efland, North Carolina). Interested persons are encouraged to stop in between 4:00 and 6:00 p.m. to speak with Planning staff members in small groups or on a one -to -one basis to learn more about this proposal and have individual questions answered. The Orange County Board of Commissioners and Planning Board will hold a Joint Public Hearing on the proposed amendments on Monday, November 19, 2012 at Page 1 of 2
