2 <br /> <br />February 2014 quarterly public hearing (QPH) was the staff recommended version of <br />the text amendment considered by the BOCC at its February 5, 2013 meeting but it <br />was not adopted. Agenda materials from the February 5, 2013 meeting can be <br />viewed at: http://www.orangecountync.gov/occlerks/130205.pdf. The version to be <br />considered at the April 7, 2015 BOCC meeting contains changes from the version <br />presented at the February 2014 QPH (see Attachment 3). <br /> <br />2. Analysis <br />As required under Section 2.8.5 of the Unified Development Ordinance, the Planning <br />Director is required to: ‘cause an analysis to be made of the application and, based <br />upon that analysis, prepare a recommendation for consideration by the Planning <br />Board and the Board of County Commissioners’. The following information is offered: <br /> <br />The proposed zoning overlay districts are consistent with the recommendations made <br />in the adopted Efland-Mebane Small Area Plan <br />(http://orangecountync.gov/planning/documents/EflandPlanADOPTED062706.pdf) <br />which called for design standards in the “core area” of Efland. The primary purpose <br />of the overlay districts is to provide for a more village and urban style of development <br />in an area of the county served, or intended to be served, by public water and sewer <br />systems. The affected area is also designated as a Commercial-Industrial Transition <br />Activity Node (CITAN) on the County’s Future Land Use Map. It is pertinent to note <br />that some of the zoning districts allowed in a CITAN land use classification allow <br />residential uses “by right” (e.g., residential uses, including single family residential, <br />are allowed in the County’s commercial zoning districts). <br /> <br />The proposed overlay districts requirements have been written so that the <br />requirements will not pertain to existing or new single-family detached residential <br />uses. New non-single-family residential uses (e.g., duplexes, multi-family) and new <br />non-residential uses proposed in the overlay districts will be required to conform to <br />the requirements of the overlay districts. Existing uses are not required to come into <br />conformance with the new requirements as long as they continue to operate in the <br />manner in which they are currently operating. The new requirements pertain to new <br />development or substantially modified existing development. <br /> <br />Because County development regulations pertain primarily to areas that are not <br />intended to be served by public and water systems, which tends to result in larger lot <br />sizes and lower density, some of the County’s regulations are not suitable for areas <br />intended to have denser or more intensive development on smaller lots. For <br />example, some of the land use buffer requirement in Section 6.8 of the UDO would <br />be infeasible to meet on a parcel of property that is less than 100 feet in width and <br />has an area measurement typically referred to in square feet rather than in acres. <br />However, in areas of the county slated for denser development than the outlying rural <br />areas, smaller sized lots with buildings closer together is to be expected. Therefore, <br />development regulations must be modified to reflect these physical differences while <br />continuing to strive for quality development. The proposed overlay districts endeavor <br />to encourage development while ensuring quality. <br /> <br />Development will still be required to meet the impervious surface limitations <br />14
