Benedict, AICP, Planning & Inspections Director <br /> FROM: Perdita Holtz, AICP, Planner III <br /> DATE: November 11, 2016 <br /> SUBJECT: City of Mebane's Comprehensive Land Development Plan <br /> At the September 15, 2016 joint BOCC/City of Mebane meeting, the local governing <br /> boards received an update from City staff on the status of the City's Comprehensive <br /> Land Development Plan. Orange County planning staff, primarily Perdita Holtz, has <br /> been participating on the committee guiding development of the plan. A draft plan has <br /> been completed and committee members are currently reviewing and commenting on <br /> the draft. Additional information on the City's planning effort is available at: <br /> http://www.mebanebydesign.net/ <br /> Approximately 35-40% of the geographic extent of the study area is located within <br /> Orange County. Two "primary growth areas" have been identified within the Orange <br /> County portion of the study area: <br /> • The Buckhorn EDD corridor <br /> • A Mixed Use area along Highway 70, at the western boundary of Orange County, <br /> which is within current municipal limits <br /> All other lands within the Orange County portion of the study area are "secondary <br /> growth areas" which are defined as "areas with access or potential access to City <br /> infrastructure and urban services or that are already developed." The attached map <br /> shows the growth strategy areas of the entire study area. <br /> Staff is anticipating that the BOCC will be invited to review and provide comments on <br /> the next draft of the plan at the January 24, 2017 BOCC meeting. City staff, or the <br /> City's consultant, will be presenting the draft plan at the meeting. <br />
