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). This is substantially the same proposal that was presented at the November 19 2012 quarterly public hearing but it was not adopted in 2013. 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: http: / /oran eq countync.gov /planning /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. The proposed amendments do not affect existing development. The amendments pertain only to new development (or re- development of existing buildings). Additionally, single family residential units (new or existing) are not subject to the requirements of the overlay districts. The Orange County Board of Commissioners and Planning Board will hold a Joint Public Hearing on the proposed amendments on Monday, February 24, 2014 at 7:00 p.m. at the Department of Social Services located at 113 Mayo Street in Hillsborough, North Carolina. Interested persons are invited to address the boards with their Page 1 of 2 L
