® General Public: Planning staff will hold an "open house" style public information meeting on November 14, 2012 at the Efland- Cheeks Communitv Center. ® Small Area Plan Workgroup: The EMSAP IFG met on August 29, 2012 to review and comment on the proposed overlay districts. The group decided that additional meetings were not necessary as the proposed overlay districts were consistent with the intent of the adopted EMSAP. ❑ Other: 3. FISCAL IMPACT This project required a fairly substantial amount of Planning staff time to complete and was accomplished by existing staff. The legal advertisement (not yet billed), notification mailings (approximately $100 total for postage, copying, and supplies), and sign posting ($786 for the signs) was paid using Planning Department FY12 -13 funds budgeted for these purposes. Adoption of the two new zoning overlay districts is not expected to impact County funding needs. D. AMENDMENT IMPLICATIONS Adoption of the amendments will mean that new development (other than detached single family houses) in the affected area will be subject to the requirements of the zoning overlay district. In some cases, such as required buffering, this is a lessening of existing regulations to reflect the smaller sized lots that exist in the affected area. In other Instances, such as architectural requirements, the proposed regulations are slightly more restrictive than existing regulations. The regulation requirements are consistent with the recommendations contained in the adopted Efland- Mebane Small Area Plan and are being proposed in order to encourage a more urban style of development in the proposed Efland Interstate Overlay District and a more urban village style of development in the proposed Efland Village Overlay District while also promoting good planning /development practices and quality development.
