Article 4: Overlay Zoning Districts 24 <br />Section 4.6: Efland Village <br />(B) The geographic area covered by the Efland Interstate Overlay District is part of the <br />Efland- Mebane Small Area Plan, adopted by the Board of County Commissioners on <br />June 27, 2006, which outlines acceptable levels of development within the study area, <br />including allowing for additional non - residential and residential development in this <br />overlay district. <br />(C) Standards are established in Section 6.6.3 in order to maintain and enhance the <br />economic vitality of the area while protecting existing land uses. Unless otherwise stated, <br />the standards are in addition to standards contained in this Ordinance, including Sections <br />6.2 (Lot and Building Standards), 6.5 (Architectural Design Standards) and 6.6.5 (Major <br />Transportation Corridor) 9 <br />4.5.2 Applicability <br />(A) This district is intended for all properties located south of the railroad tracks and north of <br />Interstate 85/40 in the general vicinity of Mount Willing Road in accordance with the <br />boundaries shown on the Orange County Zoning Atlas. 10 <br />(B) The requirements of this Ordinance pertaining to the Efland Interstate Overlay District <br />apply to all residential and non - residential land uses and developments in the designated <br />district except for detached single - family residential land uses and developments. <br />4.5.3 Permitted Uses and Dimensional and Ratio Standards <br />(A) Within the Efland Interstate Overlay District, uses of land and structures and Dimensional <br />and Ratio Standards are those permitted in the underlying zoning district or districts. All <br />other requirements for the use of land and structures contained in this Ordinance shall be <br />met unless otherwise provided. <br />(B) Minimum Setbacks <br />(1) The minimum side and rear setback shall be w#4 the width of the required <br />buffer in 6.6.3(B) or the setback required in Article 3 or Section 6.2.8, whichever <br />is less, except as provided in (a).12 <br />(a) For parcels subject to the setback and yard requirements in Section <br />4.7.4, the requirements of said Section shall apply. 13 <br />4.6.1 Intent <br />(A) The Efland Village Overlay District is established to provide for an urban village style of <br />development in an area of the county served, or intended to be served, by public water <br />and sewer systems. <br />9 This Section is currently 6.6.3 but will be renumbered to 6.6.5 as part of this amendment because Standards for the <br />two proposed new overlay districts will be inserted into the UDO as 6.6.3 and 6.6.4. <br />10 The geographic area is also the area currently designated as Commercial - Industrial Transition Activity Node <br />(CITAN) on the Future Land Use Map of the Comprehensive Plan. However, staff believes it is prudent to <br />reference only the Zoning Atlas for the boundary in case the boundaries of the CITAN are ever changed. This is <br />because the boundaries of the zoning overlay district would not necessarily change just because a land use category <br />boundary change is made; a change to the zoning overlay district boundary will require an amendment to the Zoning <br />Atlas. <br />" Typographical error corrected in late March 2015. <br />12 A lessening of setbacks is suggested in order to allow for a more urban style of development (e.g., building closer <br />together and/or more density). <br />13 Clearly stating that the Major Transportation Corridor (MTC) requirements will still apply. <br />Orange County, North Carolina — Unified Development Ordinance Page 4 -15 <br />
