5 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. 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. A map depicting the proposed overlay districts is available on the Planning Department's website at: http://orangecountync.gov/planning/SpecialProlects.asp Single-family residential uses are not subject to the proposed overlay districts. Purpose: To review the item and receive public comment on the proposed text and zoning atlas amendments. 5. 2030 Comprehensive Plan and Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) Text 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.
