These utilities were originally <br /> 6 constructed by Orange County using federal grants and Article 46 tax funds and are now owned <br /> 7 and operated by City of Mebane. Mebane's connection policies require that a petition for <br /> 8 voluntary annexation be filed with the City in order to receive municipal water and sewer <br /> 9 service, often placing newer developments within the City's zoning authority. <br /> 10 <br /> 11 Ashley Ownbey, City of Mebane Development Director, began the following presentation: <br /> 12 <br /> 13 Slide#1 <br /> Ell <br /> The Planning Area <br /> r1 " Mebane Corporate Limits <br /> Mebane Extraterritorial Jurisdiction <br /> 70 �" <br /> Area of Interest for the Comprehensive Plan <br /> 40 8 11 5 - � Full Planning Area for the Comprehensive Plan <br /> Water Bodies <br /> Major Road/Streets in and Around Mebane <br /> J.� <br /> 14 <br /> 15 Ashley Ownbey said that Mebane started the process of adopting a new comprehensive plan in <br /> 16 July 2024, updating their previous plan from May 2017. The city established a community advisory <br /> 17 committee and involved the public throughout approximately a year of drafting. She said the planning <br /> 18 area was based on Mebane's long-range utility plan, which the city council had accepted in July 2024. <br /> 19 This represented an expanded area from the 2017 plan, showing where utilities could potentially be <br /> 20 extended rather than where they currently existed. Ashley Ownbey noted that the city limits had <br /> 21 changed since planning efforts began in September 2024, and she highlighted the extraterritorial <br /> 22 jurisdiction shown in green on the map. <br /> 23 <br /> 24 <br />
