Dear Property Owner: February 7, 2014 N This notice is to inform you of an upcoming public hearing pertaining to proposed Zoning Atlas (Map) changes. 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). You are receiving this notice because you own property located within 500 -feet of parcels affected by the proposed amendments. YOUR PROPERTY IS NOT AFFECTED BY THE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS. The Planning Director has initiated amendments to the Zoning Atlas and accompanying text changes to the UDO that will establish two new zoning overlay districts in the Efland Area. The proposed zoning overlay districts will implement some of the recommendations contained in the Efland- Mebane Small Area Plan (adopted in 2006). The primary purpose of the proposed amendments is to modify existing development regulations to provide for a more 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. This proposal is substantially the same proposal that was presented at the November 19 2012 quarterly public hearing but it was not adopted in 2013. The Orange County Board of Commissioners and Planning Board will hold a Joint Public Hearing on the proposed changes 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 comments regarding the proposed amendments at this Joint Public Hearing. Maps and other information regarding the proposed zoning atlas change and accompanying text changes to the UDO can be viewed on -line at http: / /orangecountync.gov /planning /SpecialProiects. asp If you cannot attend the joint public hearing and the website does not answer your questions about the proposed amendments, you may call (919) 245- 2575 during regular business hours and you will be directed to a staff person who can assist you.
