PURPOSE: To receive a short presentation on the Buckhorn Area Plan (Study) and discuss
with the Mebane City Council.
BACKGROUND: Orange County utilized funds available in the FY 2019-2020 budget to
reimburse the City of Mebane for half of the consulting expenses of the Buckhorn Area Plan.
The original goals have been to work together with a consultant to further analyze areas within
Orange County — adjacent to and near Mebane — and to develop recommendations for a growth
strategy. In January 2020, the Piedmont Triad Regional Council (PTRC) was selected as the
consultant, and beginning on February 6, 2020, Orange County, the City of Mebane, and PTRC
have met monthly to discuss the geographic area of the study, the parcel development suitability
criteria and mechanisms for feedback on the analysis.
The City of Mebane and Orange County hosted an open house virtual meeting with the public
on November 10, 2020. The meeting was held via Zoom and welcomed guest questions,
comments, and concerns after a short presentation on the overview of the plan. The Mebane
City Council discussed the Buckhorn Area Plan at meetings in December 2020 and in January
of this year. The City Council agreed to take NO action on the Buckhorn Area Plan until Orange
County reviewed the Plan and offered comments. The Orange County BOCC received a
presentation on the Plan at its February 16, 2021 Business Meeting and scheduled this item for
discussion with Mebane City Council.
THE BUCKHORN AREA PLAN (STUDY):
A copy of the full document can be downloaded via the following link:
htti)s://www.i)trc.org/Home/ShowDocument?id=10489
The study uses GIS mapping to determine parcels most suitable for development within the
focus area. The process allows for a technical review of multiple development factors including:
developable acres, preservation areas, mean slope, watershed, sewer infrastructure, water
2
infrastructure, interstate access, interstate visibility, roadway access, and access to existing rail.
Through the scoring analysis, most suitable parcels and five potential areas for growth are
identified (Attachment A).
Attachments B through E are provided in response to questions and requests from Members of
the Board of Commissioners at the February 16 BOCC Business Meeting.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: The portion of the study covered by Orange County has previously been
budgeted and paid during FY 2019-20.
SOCIAL JUSTICE IMPACT: The following Orange County Social Justice Goal is applicable to
this agenda item:
• GOAL: ESTABLISH SUSTAINABLE AND EQUITABLE LAND-USE AND
ENVIRONMENTAL POLICIES
The fair treatment and meaningful involvement of people of all races, cultures, incomes
and educational levels with respect to the development and enforcement of
environmental laws, regulations, policies, and decisions. Fair treatment means that no
group of people should bear a disproportionate share of the negative environmental
consequences resulting from industrial, governmental and commercial operations or
policies.
• GOAL: ENSURE ECONOMIC SELF SUFFICIENCY
The creation and preservation of infrastructure, policies, programs and funding necessary
for residents to provide shelter, food, clothing and medical care for themselves and their
dependents.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: There are no Orange County Environmental Responsibility Goal
impacts associated with discussing this item.
RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends the Board receive the presentation and
discuss with the Mebane City Council.
