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 />
