24 <br /> MEBANE CITY COUNCIL MEETING: <br /> The draft Buckhorn Area Plan was presented at the December 7, 2020 Mebane City Council <br /> meeting, and a public hearing was held and continued to January 4, 2021. At the January 4, <br /> 2021 Mebane City Council meeting, the Council continued the public hearing before closing it <br /> that evening. A decision was deferred until the January 7, 2021 City Council meeting. During <br /> the meeting on January 7, 2021, the City Council agreed to take NO action on the Buckhorn <br /> Area Plan until Orange County reviews the Plan and offers comments. <br /> In the interim and in response to recent developer initiated requests for annexation and Mebane <br /> utility connections, the City of Mebane has amended its Comprehensive Land Development <br /> Plan (LDP), Mebane By Design, to include three properties south of West Ten Road and Future <br /> Growth Area "A". Maps are provided as Attachment 4 illustrating the LDP before the recent <br /> amendment and after. Growth Area "A" is labeled in Attachment 3. While the Mebane City <br /> Council believes that the Buckhorn Area Plan offers good guidance in determining the <br /> economic development potential of additional properties in the utility service area, the Council is <br /> not in favor of increasing the geographic extent of its LDP to include any portions of Areas B, C, <br /> D, or E without explicit Orange County support. <br /> NEXT ORANGE COUNTY STEP: The Orange County BOCC is scheduled to meet in a joint <br /> meeting with the Mebane City Council on March 9, 2021 at 7:00 pm via Zoom. <br /> Craig Benedict, Planning Director, introduced the item, and presented the first few slides <br /> of the following PowerPoint presentation. <br /> ORANGE COUNTY <br /> NORTH CAROLINA <br /> Buckhorn Area Plan (Study) <br /> Craig Benedict, Director <br /> Tom Altied, Planner Ill <br /> Tom Ten Eyck,Planner II <br /> reomary 15,2021 <br /> Purpose <br /> To receive a presentation on the Buckhorn <br /> Area Plan(Study) <br /> Craig aenedIct-Presenter O RANGE RYLY <br />
