25 <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 /> The Board of County Commissioners hereby adopts this Statement of Consistency and <br /> findings expressed herein. <br /> Rene Price, Chair Date <br />
