Planning Document Amendment Outline Form – Efland-Buckhorn-Mebane Access Management Plan 2. Draft Efland-Buckhorn-Mebane Access Management Plan Nishith Trivedi, Transportation Planner (919) 245-2582 Tom Altieri, Comprehensive Planning Supervisor (919) 245-2579 Craig Benedict, Planning Director (919) 245-2585 PURPOSE: To make a recommendation to the Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) on an update to the Efland-Buckhorn-Mebane Access Management Plan (E-B-M AMP). BACKGROUND: On April 3, 2018 the BOCC authorized the Planning Department to update the adopted 2011 E-B-M AMP through the attached Amendment Outline Form (Attachment 1). This update is conducted through a comprehensive public involvement process which includes community input and recommendations from the Planning Board and Orange Unified Transportation Board (OUTBoard) as outlined in the form. The E-B-M AMP is: • A combination of the original adopted 2011 E-B-M AMP, 2017 Transportation Study and public comments. • A long-range transportation vision for the area illustrating roadway alignment and corridor width necessary to serve future land uses and address traffic impact as development occurs. • A plan that assists the County in promoting economic development through its development review process by encouraging developers to dedicate right-of-way necessary for future roads. The E-B-M AMP is not: • A proposal for, nor does it seek authorization for, funding right-of-way acquisition. • A collection of future road design and construction projects, nor does it include a schedule. • A guarantee that future development will occur or that roads will be built. 13
