NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
2030 Comprehensive Plan - Land Use Element Map Amendment
From Agricultural Residential to Ten -Year Transition in the Efland Area
Dear Property Owner:
This letter is to notify you of an upcoming public hearing pertaining to a proposed 2030
Comprehensive Plan Land Use Element Map change that affects your property. This
notification is occurring in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.3 Comprehensive
Plan Amendments of the Unified Development Ordinance.
Land Use Element Map amendments are necessary for consistency with the Water and
Sewer Management Planning and Boundary Agreement (WASMPBA) and engineering
design for public sewer in the Efland area. This amendment is also consistent with
recommendations included in the Efland- Mebane Small Area Plan. The proposed Land
Use Element Map amendment is approximately 47 -acres near Efland and Brookhollow
Road, along the south side of McGowan Creek from Agricultural Residential to 10 -Year
Transition (See Map).
Your property is proposed to be included in the 10 -Year Transition land use
category. This action, if approved by the Board of County Commissioners, would
create future rezoning potential from a low- density residential district to higher - density
residential districts. This action does not affect the present use of your property and its
zoning.
The Orange County Board of Commissioners and Planning Board will hold a Joint
Public Hearing on the proposed changes on Monday, November 21, 2011 at 7:00
p.m. at the Department of Social Services located at 113 Mayo Street (Hillsborough
Commons Shopping Center) in Hillsborough, North Carolina. Interested persons are
invited to address the boards with their comments regarding the proposed amendments
at this Joint Public Hearing.
If you cannot attend the Joint Public Hearing and have questions about the proposed
amendments, you may call (919) 245 -2575 during regular business hours and you will
be directed to a staff person who can assist you.
Sincerely,
Craig N. Benedict, AICP
Planning Director
