A map depicting the proposed overlay districts and other written information is available on the Planning Department's website at: http: / /orangecountync.gov /planning/ includes/ ProposedEflandZoningOverlayDistri ct.asp 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. The general geographic extent of the proposed "Efland Interstate Overlay District" is the railroad tracks that run through Efland to Interstate 40/85 with west -east boundaries of a line between Gaines Chapel Road and Center Street and the U.S. 70 Connector. Single- family residential uses are not subject to the proposed overlay districts.
