52 <br /> Mebane has created uncertainty for area residents. More formal <br /> communications, relationships, and/or agreements with Mebane should be <br /> pursued to ensure residents have a better idea of future plans and growth areas. <br /> 3. Water and Sewer Management, Planning, and Boundary Agreement Map <br /> Amendments / Reconciliation of Future Land Use Map (FLUM)/Zoning Lines: <br /> There are discrepancies in these maps that should be addressed. The County <br /> should work with WASMPBA partners to bring forward amendments to reconcile <br /> discrepancies in the WASMPBA "Primary Service Area," County Future Land <br /> Use Map (FLUM)/Zoning lines, and any discrepancies on similar municipal maps. <br /> The Town of Hillsborough is anticipated to initiate an update to the WASMPBA to <br /> ensure consistency with their adopted plans. <br /> 4. Watershed Review and Implications of County vs. State Watershed Delineations: <br /> Review the County and State watershed delineation lines and the implications of <br /> current differences, including stormwater standards. Be mindful of any lessened <br /> watershed protection measures. <br /> 5. Rural Enterprises: As part of the analysis for the Land Use Plan 2050, determine <br /> need to address innovative water & sewage disposal issues in the Rural Activity <br /> Nodes (RANs) to encourage development in these nodes. Evaluate non- <br /> residential acreage thresholds in both the existing Comprehensive Plan and the <br /> UDO to better enable retail services or other uses in identified RANs. <br /> 6. Transportation Issues: As part of the analysis for the Land Use Plan 2050, <br /> determine if rural "transit oriented development" could be hubs of transit located <br /> in the rural community nodes. Focus should be on transit dependent populations <br /> and their connection to other transit infrastructure, and account for <br /> implementation of the North-South Bus Rapid Transit line between Hillsborough <br /> and Chapel Hill. <br /> 7. Long-Term Planning for Potable Water and Waste Disposal: Planning for <br /> potable water and waste (wastewater and solid waste) should continue to be a <br /> topic for study (i.e., supportive infrastructure analysis) and potential discussion <br /> with public and non-profit utility providers as growth in Orange County continues. <br /> This could serve both economic development and affordable housing concerns. <br />
