lug <br />community representatives, the Group may be reconvened in <br />early 2015 if significant changes to the proposed overlay <br />districts are proposed <br />❑ Other: <br />3. FISCAL IMPACT <br />The prior project required a fairly substantial amount of Planning staff time to complete <br />and was accomplished by existing staff. Since significant changes were not being <br />proposed as part of the reconsideration heard at the February 24, 2014 quarterly public <br />hearing, staff time commitments were not overly significant. The legal advertisements, <br />notification mailings, and signs were be paid using Planning Department FY_13 -14 funds <br />budgeted for these purposes. <br />Staff time necessary for this proposal since the February 24, 2014 quarterly public <br />hearing has increased as community meetings have been held and because staff will be <br />meeting with community representatives on a monthly basis for several months. <br />Adoption of the two new zoning overlay districts is not expected to impact County <br />funding needs. <br />D. AMENDMENT IMPLICATIONS <br />Adoption of the amendments will mean that new development (other than detached single <br />family houses) in the affected area will be subject to the requirements of the zoning overlay <br />district. In some cases, such as required buffering, this is a lessening of existing regulations <br />to reflect the smaller sized lots that exist in the affected area. In other instances, such as <br />architectural requirements, the proposed regulations are slightly more restrictive than <br />existing regulations. <br />The regulation requirements are consistent with the recommendations contained in the <br />adopted Efland- Mebane Small Area Plan and are being proposed in order to encourage a <br />more urban style of development in the proposed Efland Interstate Overlay District and a <br />more urban village style of development in the proposed Efland Village Overlay District while <br />also promoting good planning /development practices and quality development._ <br />E.
