The Board of County Commissioners finds: a. The requirements of Section 2.8 of the UDO have been deemed complete; and, b. Pursuant to Sections 1.1.5, and 1.1.7 of the UDO and to Section 153A-341 of the North Carolina General Statutes, the Board finds sufficient documentation within the record denoting that the amendment is consistent with the adopted 2030 Comprehensive Plan. 1. The amendment is consistent with applicable plans because it supports the following 2030 Comprehensive Plan goals and objectives: Obiective ED-1.5: Identify barriers to development of desirable businesses and local businesses, and mitigate these barriers. Land Use Goal 1: Fiscally and environmentally responsible, sustainable growth, consistent with the provision of adequate services and facilities and a high quality of life. Objective LU-1.1: Coordinate the location of higher intensity/ high density residential and non- residential development with existing or planned locations of public transportation, commercial and community services, and adequate supporting infrastructure (i.e., water and sewer, high-speed internet access, streets, and sidewalks), while avoiding areas with protected natural and cultural resources. This could be achieved by increasing allowable densities and creating new mixed-use zoning districts where adequate public services are available. (See also Economic Development Objectives ED-2.1, ED-2.3, ED-2.10, and Water and Wastewater Objective WW-2.) Land Use Goal 4: Land development regulations, guidelines, techniques and/or incentives that promote the integrated achievement of all Comprehensive Plan goals. c. The amendment is reasonable and in the public interest because it: 1. Modifies existing non-residential zoning boundaries in an attempt to make existing operations more conforming to local land use regulations, 2. Eliminates non-residential zoning designations on property with no non- residential land use activity thereby bringing the property into greater compliance with the goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan. The Board of County Commissioners hereby adopts this Statement of Consistency and findings expressed herein. Earl McKee, Chair Date
