aD <br /> STATEMENT OF CONSISTENCY <br /> OF PROPOSED ZONING ATLAS AMENDMENTS WITH THE 2030 COMPREHENSIVE <br /> PLAN AND/OR OTHER ADOPTED COUNTY PLANS <br /> Hart's Mill LLC and Ms. Alana Ennis, owners of a 112 acre parcel of property within Orange <br /> County, have initiated an amendment to the Orange County Zoning Atlas, as established in <br /> Section 1.2 of the Orange County Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) to rezone property: <br /> From: Rural Residential (R-1), Upper Eno Protected Watershed Protection Overlay District, <br /> Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) Overlay District. <br /> To: Master Plan Development Conditional Zoning (MPD-CZ), Upper Eno Protected <br /> Watershed Protection Overlay District, Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) Overlay <br /> District. <br /> allowing for the development of a village style residential community. The parcel, further identified <br /> utilizing Orange County Parcel Identification Number (PIN) 9835-74-8573, is located along Frazier <br /> Road (SR 1310) approximately 2,900 feet south of the intersection of Frazier and Lebanon Road <br /> (SR 1306) hereafter referred to as `the property'. <br /> The BOCC finds: <br /> • The requirements of Section 2.8 of the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) have been <br /> deemed complete, and <br /> • Pursuant to Sections 1.1.5, and 1.1.7 of the UDO and to Section 153A-341 of the North <br /> Carolina General Statutes, the Board finds documentation within the record denoting that <br /> the rezoning is consistent with the adopted 2030 Comprehensive Plan and/or other <br /> adopted County plans. <br /> The amendment is consistent with applicable plans because it: <br /> • Supports the following 2030 Comprehensive Plan goals and objectives including: <br /> 1. Land Use Overarchinq Goal: Coordination of the amount, location, pattern and <br /> designation of future land uses, with availability of County services and facilities <br /> sufficient to meet the needs of Orange County's population and economy <br /> consistent with other Comprehensive Plan element goals and objectives. <br /> 2. Land Use Goal 2: Land uses that are appropriate to on-site environmental <br /> conditions and features, and that protect natural resources, cultural resources, <br /> and community character. <br /> 3. Objective LU-1.1: Coordinate the location of higher intensity / high density <br /> residential and non-residential development with existing or planned locations of <br /> public transportation, commercial and community services, and adequate <br /> supporting infrastructure (i.e., water and sewer, high-speed internet access, <br /> streets, and sidewalks), while avoiding areas with protected natural and cultural <br /> resources. This could be achieved by increasing allowable densities and <br /> creating new mixed-use zoning districts where adequate public services are <br /> available. <br /> 4. Objective LU-3.5: Recognize the right to farm and discourage the location of <br /> new non-farm development, particularly more intensive residential development, <br /> I <br />
