14 of the UDO and to Section 160D-604(d) Planning Board review and comment — Plan Consistency and 160D-605(a) Governing Board Statement — Plan Consistency of the North Carolina General Statutes, the Board finds sufficient documentation within the record denoting that the amendment is consistent with the adopted 2030 Comprehensive Plan. 1. The amendment is consistent with applicable plans because it supports the following: • Services and Community Facilities Goal 1: Efficient provisions of public water and sewer service systems which are consistent with the Land Use Plan and which abide by the current Water and Sewer Management Planning Boundary Agreement, the existing Orange County-Chapel Hill- Carrboro Joint Planning Agreement and Land Use Plan, and future agreements to be negotiated among the County and public and private service. These amendments are consistent with this goal by downzoning areas that are not expected to be served by water and sewer in the near future. • Economic Development Objective ED-2.1: Encourage compact and higher density development in areas served by water and sewer. The amendment is consistent with this objective by downzoning areas that are not expected to be served by water and sewer in the near future. c. The amendment is reasonable and in the public interest because it: 1. Recognizes a utility infrastructure constraint and downzones properties to residential uses prior to any conversion of affected properties to non-residential uses. The Planning Board hereby adopts this Statement of Approval and Consistency as well as the findings expressed herein. The Planning Board of Orange County hereby recommends that the Board of County Commissioners consider adoption of the proposed Zoning Atlas amendments. David Blankfard, Chair Date
