As a previous Information Item indicated, the City of Mebane has produced a draft
Comprehensive Land Development Plan. The draft plan and information on the City’s
planning effort is available at: http://www.mebanebydesign.net/. The formal public
comment period ran from December 5, 2016 to January 6, 2017 and the draft plan is
expected to be reviewed by the City’s Planning Board at its meeting on February 13.
The City Council may review and possibly adopt the plan at its meeting on March 6.
The City’s Planning Board agendas and contact information are available at:

City Council information is at:

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.

Interested persons are invited to review the plan at the website above and attend the
City’s Planning Board and Council meetings to address the Board/Council with their
comments.
