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 . CAP Pod= Renee Price , Chair Date
