~ ~a 2A. ZONING (and Subdivision) Land within the Orange County Zoning jurisdiction is subject to the Zoning Ordinance. The Zoning Ordinance is comprised of two implementing parts---the written text and the zoning atlas with the text providing the rules for specific uses and the atlas setting forth the mapped district boundaries to which the text applies. The Subdivision Regulations regulate the subdivision of land. Various land use regulations have been adopted, both locally initiated and State mandated, by the County Commissioners to regulate lands within the Efland/Cheeks area. They include the following: Zoning Ordinance effective in the Cheeks Township on October 1, 1984. Subdivision Regulations effective in the Cheeks Township on March 13, 1978 Watershed Overlay District effective on January 1, 1994 (amendment to Zoning Ordinance. (see Zoning and Subdivision Ordinances) 2B. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT (I-85 / Buckhorn Area) effective on March 1, 1994 (revised November 5, 2003) The EDD Design Manual is applicable to this project as well as any other reasonable conditions placed on the project by the Board of County Commissioners during the Planned Development /Special-Use Permit process. . 3. GROWTH MANAGEMENT SYSTEM The Growth Management System (GMS) was created by an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance. Effective on Novemker 5, 2003, the GMS purpose is to provide a process framework for major subdivision review. The amendment implemented varying levels of review, dependent first on whether a property was classified as Rural Designated or Urban Designated,' and secondly on the proposed number of lots. The review processes are matched to the planned intensities of the rural or urban program acknowledging the intent of each. For example a 40-lot subdivision can be more easily accommodated in an urban vs. rural area. (see Zoning Ordinance, Article 4, 7, 8, 22 and Subdivision Ordinance)
