Mebane's connection policies require that a petition for voluntary annexation be <br /> filed with the City in order to receive municipal water and sewer service, often placing newer <br /> developments within the City's zoning authority. <br /> Ashley Ownbey, City of Mebane Development Director, began the following presentation: <br /> Slide#1 <br /> :i �. <br /> The Planning Area <br /> +` Mebane Corporate Limits <br /> $ � Mebane Extraterritorial Jurisdiction <br /> L fi�.:SiI <br /> Area of Interest for the Comprehensive Plan <br /> Up <br /> �? ,y EJ <br /> Full Planning Area for the Comprehensive Plan <br /> - water Bodies <br /> [139 \ Major Road/Streets in and Around Mebane <br /> r� <br /> Ashley Ownbey said that Mebane started the process of adopting a new comprehensive plan in <br /> July 2024, updating their previous plan from May 2017. The city established a community advisory <br /> committee and involved the public throughout approximately a year of drafting.She said the planning area <br /> was based on Mebane's long-range utility plan, which the city council had accepted in July 2024. This <br /> represented an expanded area from the 2017 plan, showing where utilities could potentially be extended <br /> rather than where they currently existed. Ashley Ownbey noted that the city limits had changed since <br /> planning efforts began in September 2024, and she highlighted the extraterritorial jurisdiction shown in <br /> green on the map. <br />
