This information was distributed at the April 7, 2014 Public Information Meeting and was the basis of discussions Orange County Planning staff <br />had with a group of residents from August 2014 – January 2015. <br />Efland Village Overlay District <br />Easy <br />Ref. <br />No. <br />Section Number <br />in UDO <br />Revisions <br />Proposed Standard Explanation / Rationale <br />55. 6.6.4 (F)(5) Drive-through facilities are prohibited on all non- <br />residential uses. <br />This standard prohibits drive-through facilities in the Efland <br />Village overlay district. The idea is from the Efland-Mebane <br />Small Area Plan and the intent is to channel uses that generally <br />wish to provide drive-throughs to other areas of the planning <br />area covered by the small area plan, namely to locations closer <br />to the interstate. Uses with drive-through facilities tend to <br />have a large impact on traffic volumes and many governments <br />attempt to encourage the location of buildings with drive- <br />throughs to areas that can better accommodate the traffic. <br />56. 6.6.4 (F)(6) Mirrored glass is prohibited. Mirrored glass as a building material is not considered <br />appropriate for the Efland Village overlay district and it would <br />it not blend well with existing uses. Additionally, mirrored <br />glass tends to cause glare problems so it is discouraged as a <br />building material for the village area. <br /> <br />Page 20 of 20 <br /> <br />42
