Ordinance Approving Zoning Atlas <br /> Amendments <br /> PURPOSE: To hold a public hearing, receive the Planning Board and staff recommendations, <br /> and public comment, close the public hearing, and consider action on a County-initiated Zoning <br /> Atlas Amendment to amend the Back Creek Protected Watershed Overlay District and Upper <br /> Eno Protected Watershed Overlay District boundary line on one parcel totaling approximately <br /> 1.73 acres (PIN: 9835-67-1605) located at 711 Faith Way Road, Mebane, within the Cheeks <br /> Township of Orange County. <br /> BACKGROUND: Protected Watersheds within Orange County are part of the County's <br /> delegated Stormwater Management Program, as reflected in the adopted Orange County <br /> Watershed Boundary Map. These watersheds are also adopted Zoning Overlay Districts in the <br /> Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) requiring approval of a Zoning Atlas Amendment to <br /> modify the watershed overlay boundary line. <br /> Based on State requirements, the Board was notified of the change in the watershed boundary <br /> line at the May 21, 2024 Business meeting. Following this action, the Orange County Planning <br /> Director initiated a Zoning Atlas Amendment application (Attachment 1) on June 24, 2024 to <br /> amend the Back Creek Protected Watershed Overlay District and Upper Eno Protected <br /> Watershed Overlay District boundary line. This second action is necessary so that the zoning <br /> overlay boundary line coincides with the new state recognized watershed ridge line. The Staff <br /> Report in Attachment 2 contains additional information, maps, and analysis. The Project <br /> Narrative contained in Attachment 1 provides additional background information related to this <br /> request. <br /> Requirements: As detailed within the Zoning Atlas Amendment application package (Attachment <br /> 1), and Section 2.8 of the UDO, rezoning submittals are required to contain: <br /> 1. A completed Zoning Atlas Amendment application; <br /> 2. A map, at a legible scale, showing the land proposed for rezoning; <br />
