This 79 item is scheduled for BOCC public hearing on September 5, 2024. 80 81 Adam Beeman: First agenda item is a zoning atlas amendment for Frazier Road in Mebane, Cheeks 82 Township. 83 Lauren Coffey: Thank you, Chair.

So, when we're thinking about a rezoning, we're looking at the 97 Future Land Use Map designation. This parcel is primarily in the 20-Year Transition.
