He said there <br /> is no suggestion to change the land use for that subdivision. He said the Board could direct to <br /> leave this subdivision out of economic development, and leave it as residential. He said <br /> Mebane took this area out of its land development plan, and has no interest in doing any <br /> planning here. <br /> Commissioner Dorosin asked if staff could provide clarification on the issue of <br /> annexation, using Area B as an example. He asked at what point does the land come under <br /> Mebane's control, and if there are any geographical limits to what can be annexed. <br /> Tom Altieri said the annexation process has to follow state statutes. He said as part of a <br /> voluntary annexation petition, a request is submitted to be zoned under the municipality's <br /> zoning ordinance, and a statement of consistency that it is addressed under Mebane's <br /> development or comprehensive plan. He said Mebane recently amended its comprehensive <br /> plan, as it annexed the Medline facility. He said this was the beginning of the study, and <br /> Mebane wanted to insure that it could it be found in compliance with state statutes. He said <br /> there are several regulations and standards in the state statutes that set forth the process by <br /> which properties can be annexed. He said annexation can be contiguous, adjacent to <br /> incorporated areas, or the satellite process, which is what occurred with the Medline <br />
