6 <br /> Parcel Analysis <br /> 1 <br /> PARCEL ANALYSIS <br /> METHODOLOGY <br /> The PTRC obtained GIS files from Orange County and the City of Mebane, including tax parcels, zoning, <br /> city limits, and water/sewer infrastructure for analysing tax parcels for their suitability to be developed <br /> as employment centers. Other GIS files were used from the State, including roads, railroads, hydrology, <br /> watersheds, LiDAR elevation, orthophotography, and conservation areas. After the stakeholder group <br /> determined the study area boundary, 569 parcels were selected for further analysis. <br /> PARCEL ANALYSIS LAYERS <br /> Orange County and City of Mebane Planning,Administration,and Economic Development staffs worked <br /> together to establish a list of factors that influence the suitability of a parcel for potential development. <br /> The layers include developable acres, preservation areas, mean slope, watershed, sewer infrastructure, <br /> water infrastructure, interstate access, interstate visibility, roadway access, and access to existing rail. <br /> This section explains the parcel analysis layers in more detail providing a map showing the weighted <br /> layers of parcels in the Buckhorn Study Area. The final sum value of each individual layer was then <br /> calculated for each parcel to determine a final suitability value. Parcels in the study area ranged from <br /> values of 2 to 16,with 16 being the most suitable for development. Parcels could have ranged from-7 to <br /> 18, but no parcels reached these minimum/maximum values. <br /> Layer cjhain Pak& <br /> LKgder 2 Ades -1 <br /> D-eve lop uble dcre� (WeHands cmd 2 to 1? 1 <br /> floadotains removedr nbErWd ndicneni 20 to 4$ 2 <br /> owners) 50 to 3 <br /> 100 Of More 4 <br /> Vcim u Di wkr -1 <br /> Fresmrmcion Auaus Qrmmcft n EEmarews ur Akunaged A -2 <br /> Nufurd Flue Ek a i Omrrrerr or -1 <br /> Skpwffccffd h durd 11-kinfogn Arm <br /> c6 1 <br /> Mean Shoe 6143 10 0 <br /> > 10 -1 <br /> Wahvshad NSYIW 1Er -1 <br /> A*ail0bl2 .� <br /> Sewer Irfra5ructure Pot-enhcd ra serve 2 <br /> unlike!y to semi c <br /> Awda61e 2 <br /> WOW lIffiftembWEIUM Fumrad io ssra i <br /> mWFW 0 <br /> Irrtersrare access <br /> Within 1-5 Miles Driving aisrance to <br /> 2 <br /> Intei-chan e <br /> IMWAUDE ViqbW7 YES 7 <br /> Road-ay A:cesi Access to 2+ pwblfc roadways <br /> Access to 1 public roadway 1 <br /> lAmmx is Ex1dkU 16a1 Yes 7 <br /> DRAFT Buckhorn Area Plan 27 <br />
