MEMORANDUM
TO: Orange County Board of Commissioners
CC: Craig N. Benedict, AICP, Planning & Inspections Director
FROM: Perdita Holtz, AICP, Planner III
DATE: November 11, 2016
SUBJECT: City of Mebane's Comprehensive Land Development Plan
At the September 15, 2016 joint BOCC/City of Mebane meeting, the local governing
boards received an update from City staff on the status of the City's Comprehensive
Land Development Plan. Orange County planning staff, primarily Perdita Holtz, has
been participating on the committee guiding development of the plan. A draft plan has
been completed and committee members are currently reviewing and commenting on
the draft. Additional information on the City's planning effort is available at:
http://www.mebanebydesign.net/
Approximately 35-40% of the geographic extent of the study area is located within
Orange County. Two "primary growth areas" have been identified within the Orange
County portion of the study area:
• The Buckhorn EDD corridor
• A Mixed Use area along Highway 70, at the western boundary of Orange County,
which is within current municipal limits
All other lands within the Orange County portion of the study area are "secondary
growth areas" which are defined as "areas with access or potential access to City
infrastructure and urban services or that are already developed." The attached map
shows the growth strategy areas of the entire study area.
Staff is anticipating that the BOCC will be invited to review and provide comments on
the next draft of the plan at the January 24, 2017 BOCC meeting. City staff, or the
City's consultant, will be presenting the draft plan at the meeting.
