<br /> <br />c. The amendment is reasonable and in the public interest because it: <br />1. Expands economic development prospects within the County, while <br />continuing to protect adjacent and nearby land uses, consistent with the <br />Comprehensive Plan as well as adopted Small Area Plans for the area. <br />The atlas amendment involves the approval of a master plan <br />establishing a detailed list of allowable non-residential land uses to <br />aid in the marketing on an area designated within the <br />Comprehensive Plan as being suitable for high intensity non- <br />residential development. <br />The expansion is consistent with County and City of Mebane plans <br />outlining those parcels suitable for service by sewer that are prime <br />for high intensity non-residential development. <br />Further, the approved master plan establishes mandatory land use <br />buffers and setbacks for development within the project to ensure <br />off-site impacts are mitigated. <br /> <br />The Planning Board hereby adopts this Statement of Consistency and findings expressed <br />herein and recommends the Board of County Commissioners consider adoption of the <br />proposed Zoning Atlas Amendment(s). <br /> <br /> <br />______________________ ________________________ <br />David Blankfard, Chair Date <br /> <br />165
