The Orange County Board of Commissioners hereby finds :
a . The requirements of Section 2 . 8 Zoning Atlas and Unified Development Ordinance
Amendments of the UDO have been deemed complete ; and ,
b . Pursuant to Sections :
■ 1 . 1 . 5 Statement of Intent - Amendments , and
■ 1 . 1 . 7 Conformance with Adopted Plans
of the UDO and to Section 160D - 604 ( d ) Planning Board review and comment —
Plan Consistency and 160D - 605 ( a ) Governing Board Statement — Plan
Consistency 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 :
• Land Use Goal 3 of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan A variety
of land uses that are coordinated within a program and pattern
that limits sprawl, preserves community and rural character,
minimizes land use conflicts, supported by an efficient and
balanced transportation system .
The amendment is consistent with this goal because it will
augment the available non - residential acreage in Orange
County and it is located in an area that is already more
densely/intensely developed than most areas of the county .
Additionally , it is located in close proximity to an interstate
highway and the area has been designated for commercial -
industrial development for decades .
• Economic Development Objective ED -2 . 1 of the 2030
Comprehensive Plan : Encourage compact and higher density
development in areas served by water and sewer.
The amendment is consistent with this objective because the
parcel is located in an area of the county served by public
water and sewer systems .
2 . The amendment is also consistent with the adopted Efland - Mebane Small
Area Plan which called for a mix of uses in this portion of the overall
planning area .
c . The amendment is reasonable and in the public interest because it furthers the
goals of the adopted Comprehensive Plan .
The Orange County Board of Commissioners hereby adopts this Statement of Consistency
and the findings expressed herein .
