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