x Water and Sewer Management, Planning and Boundary Agreement (WASMPBA): Property is located within the Orange County Primary Service Area meaning public utilities (i.e. water and sewer) could be extended to the property. Utility service would be provided by the City of Mebane, who may require voluntary annexation to allow services to be extended to serve a proposed land use.The document can be accessed utilizing the following link: http://www.orangecountync.gov/DocumentCenter/View/4190/Water- and-Sewer-Management-Planning-and-Boundary-Agreement-PDF. x Transportation: Per the adopted Efland Buckhorn Mebane Access Management Plan, West Ten Road (west of Buckhorn Road and east of Bowman Road) is recommended to have 2 lanes of traffic with a 2 way left turn lane contained within a minimum 80 ft. right- of-way. The Plan also calls for the development of either a 5 ft. wide paved shoulder or curb/gutter with a bike lane and sidewalk. Development of the revised roadway is intended to be achieved through the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP). The Plan can be accessed utilizing the following link: http://www.orangecountync.gov/DocumentCenter/View/6967/2019-E-B-M-AMP?bidId. Public Notifications: In accordance with Section 2.8.7 of the UDO, notices of the Planning Board’s review of the rezoning request (i.e. date, time, location, and nature of the review) were mailed to residents with 1,000 feet of the subject parcel on July 24, 2019. A sign indicating the rezoning request and Planning Board meeting was also posted on the property on the same day. Courtesy Review: This request was submitted to the City of Mebane, which theoretically could serve the property with utility and urban services and accept a voluntary annexation petition by the owner, on July 15, 2019 as part of our courtesy review program. Planning Director’s Recommendation: As required under Section 2.8.5 of the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) the Planning Director shall: ‘… cause an analysis to be made of the application and, based upon that analysis, prepare a recommendation for consideration’. The Director has determined the proposed atlas amendment addresses potential non- conformities associated with the current split zoning of the property and that the requested GC- 4 zoning designation is consistent with the goals and policies of the adopted Comprehensive Plan consistent with property’s location within the CITAN. As a result, the Director recommends approval of the Statement of Consistency, indicating the amendments are reasonable and in the public interest, contained in Attachment 4 and the proposed zoning atlas amendment ordinance contained in Attachment 5. It should be noted further development/redevelopment of the property will require submittal/approval of a site plan demonstrating compliance with applicable development standards (i.e. parking, setbacks, impervious surface, stormwater, landscaping/buffering, etc.) as detailed within the UDO. Approval of this request does not exempt the applicant from complying with these standards. FINANCIAL IMPACT: Consideration and approval will not create the need for additional funding for the provision of County services. Costs for the required legal advertisement and mailings were paid by the applicant. Existing Planning staff included in the Departmental staffing budget will accomplish the work required to process the amendment. 9
