• Further implements the Efland-Mebane Small Area Plan, adopted June 27, 2006. The amendments are reasonable and in the public interest because: • The proposed amendments establish overlay districts that modify existing development regulations to reflect that this is an area of the county with smaller lots and which is served, or scheduled to be served, with water and sewer lines. Existing development regulations, particularly buffer and setback requirements, can make development difficult to achieve on smaller sized lots. • The proposed amendments achieve a reasonable balance of attempting to encourage high quality development while protecting existing land uses and community character. • The proposed amendments encourage development in an area of the county designated as Commercial-Industrial Transition Activity Node on the Future Land Use Map of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. • The proposed amendments promote public health, safety, and general welfare by furthering the goals and objectives of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan, including further implementation of the Efland-Mebane Small Area Plan (adopted June 27, 2006). The Board of County Commissioners hereby adopts this Statement of Consistency and findings expressed herein. Earl McKee, Chair Date
