6 permitted under an existing Special Use Permit issued on March 10, 1986, are within the required 150 foot setback. The proposed amendment would reduce the required setbacks for Class II Kennels, developed within the EDE-2 zoning district, to 25 feet which is the typical setback required for structures developed within the district. Purpose: To review the item and receive public comment on the application. 5. 2030 Comprehensive Plan and Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) Text Amendments and Zoning Atlas Amendments: In accordance with the provisions of Section 2.3 Comprehensive Plan Amendments and Section 2.8 Zoning Atlas and Unified Development Ordinance Amendments of the Unified Development Ordinance, the Planning Director has initiated an amendment to the text of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan and the Unified Development Ordinance and to the Zoning Atlas. The purpose of these amendments is to establish two new zoning overlay districts in the Efland area in Cheeks Township. These proposed actions are measures to implement some of the recommendations contained in the adopted Efland-Mebane Small Area Plan. This is virtually the same text amendment that was heard at the November 19, 2012 quarterly public hearing but the text amendment was not adopted in 2013. In the 2030 Comprehensive Plan, the Land Use and Zoning Matrix contained in Appendix F is proposed to be amended by adding a checkmark to potentially allow a special zoning overlay district in the following land use classifications: 20-Year Transition, Commercial Transition Activity Node, Commercial-Industrial Transition Activity Node, and Economic Development Transition Activity Node. The following Sections of the UDO are proposed for amendment: 2.5.7 and 4.4. Additionally, existing Sections 4.5 and 4.6 will be renumbered to 4.7 and 4.8, respectively. New Sections 4.5 and 4.6 will be inserted to establish the new zoning overlay districts. Existing Section 6.6.3 will be renumbered to be 6.6.5 and new Sections 6.6.3 and 6.6.4 will be inserted to establish standards for the two proposed zoning overlay districts. The proposed renumbering will also affect references to the sections proposed for renumbering. References will be updated in the following existing Sections: 4.5.1 (which will also be renumbered to 4.7.1), 6.8.12, and 7.13.2. The Zoning Atlas is proposed to be amended in order to depict the geographic extent of the two overlay districts. The general geographic extent of the proposed "Efland Village Overlay District" is the railroad tracks that run through Efland to slightly north of U.S. Highway 70 with west-east boundaries of the Harding Road area and Gym Road.
