PURPOSE: To hold a public hearing, receive the Planning Board and staff recommendations,
and public comment, close the public hearing, and consider action on a County-initiated Zoning
Atlas Amendment to amend the Back Creek Protected Watershed Overlay District and Upper
Eno Protected Watershed Overlay District boundary line on one parcel totaling approximately
1.73 acres (PIN: 9835-67-1605) located at 711 Faith Way Road, Mebane, within the Cheeks
Township of Orange County.
BACKGROUND: Protected Watersheds within Orange County are part of the County's
delegated Stormwater Management Program, as reflected in the adopted Orange County
Watershed Boundary Map. These watersheds are also adopted Zoning Overlay Districts in the
Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) requiring approval of a Zoning Atlas Amendment to
modify the watershed overlay boundary line.
Based on State requirements, the Board was notified of the change in the watershed boundary
line at the May 21, 2024 Business meeting. Following this action, the Orange County Planning
Director initiated a Zoning Atlas Amendment application (Attachment 1) on June 24, 2024 to
amend the Back Creek Protected Watershed Overlay District and Upper Eno Protected
Watershed Overlay District boundary line. This second action is necessary so that the zoning
overlay boundary line coincides with the new state recognized watershed ridge line. The Staff
Report in Attachment 2 contains additional information, maps, and analysis. The Project
Narrative contained in Attachment 1 provides additional background information related to this
request.
Requirements: As detailed within the Zoning Atlas Amendment application package (Attachment
1), and Section 2.8 of the UDO, rezoning submittals are required to contain:
1. A completed Zoning Atlas Amendment application;
2. A map, at a legible scale, showing the land proposed for rezoning;
2
3. A detailed narrative; and
4. Plan review fee(s) consistent with the adopted Orange County Fee Schedule.
[Note: As a County-initiated action, no review fees were collected]
Basic Review Process: A rezoning application for an overlay district amendment requires
submission of a detailed area map and other documents, in accordance with Section 2.8.3(A) of
the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO). A site-specific plan is not required for overlay
district amendment applications and conditions cannot be applied to an approval action. The
typical cadence for the review is as follows:
• FIRST ACTION — Staff holds a Development Advisory Committee Meeting.
STAFF COMMENT: The Development Advisory Committee Meeting was held on
July 11, 2024, at 9:30 a.m., via Microsoft Teams. Comments received from this
review are available in Attachment 4.
• SECOND ACTION — The Planning Board reviews the application at a regular meeting
and makes a recommendation to the BOCC.
STAFF COMMENT. The Planning Board reviewed this application at its regular
meeting on August 7, 2024 and voted unanimously to recommend approval of the
amendment.
• THIRD ACTION — The BOCC receives the Planning Board and staff
recommendations at an advertised public hearing and makes a decision on the
application.
STAFF COMMENT: The public hearing is scheduled for September 5, 2024.
Public Notifications: In accordance with Section 2.8.7 of the UDO, notices of the Public Hearing
were mailed via first class mail to property owners within 1,000 feet of the subject parcel. These
notices were mailed on August 22, 2024, 14 days before the hearing. Staff also posted the
subject parcel with signs on August 22, 2024, 14 days before the hearing. See Attachment 3 for
the notification materials.
Planning Board Recommendation: The Planning Board reviewed the zoning atlas amendment
at its August 7, 2024 regular meeting. At this meeting the Planning Board voted unanimously to
recommend approval of the Statement of Consistency (Attachment 6) and the proposed Zoning
Atlas Amendment (Attachment 7), as presented.
An excerpt of the draft minutes from the August 7, 2024 meeting, as well as the Board's signed
statement of consistency, are included in Attachment 5. Agenda materials from the meeting can
be viewed at: https://www.orangecountync.gov/AgendaCenter/ViewFile/Agenda/ 08072024-
2058.
Planning Director's Recommendation: The Planning Director recommends approval of the:
1. Statement of Approval and Consistency indicating the overlay zoning district amendment
application is reasonable and in the public interest, as contained in Attachment 6.
2. Zoning Atlas Amendment Ordinance to reflect the zoning overlay change on the
County's adopted Zoning Atlas, as contained in Attachment 7.
3
FINANCIAL IMPACT: This request has been reviewed by various County departments which
have determined that the approval of the request would not create the need for additional
funding for the provision of County services.
ALIGNMENT WITH STRATEGIC PLAN: This item supports:
GOAL 1: ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AND CLIMATE ACTION
OBJECTIVE 6. Protect water supply/watersheds.
OBJECTIVE 7. Conserve and protect high priority open space, including Natural Heritage
sites, nature preserves, watershed riparian buffers, and prime/threatened farmland.
RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends the Board:
1. Conduct the public hearing and receive the Planning Board and staff recommendations
and public comments;
2. Close the public hearing; and
3. Vote to Approve the Statement of Consistency (Attachment 6) and Zoning Atlas
Amendments (Attachment 7);
OR
Vote to Deny the Zoning Atlas Amendments, including a statement as to why the
application is not reasonable and/or not in the public interest.

Narrative
Property owners Nathan and Jessica King hired Riley Surveying, PA, to survey the
parcel's existing impervious cover and topography, including the ridge line between the
two watersheds on their property. This professional survey work revealed a discrepancy
with Orange County's mapped watershed boundary lines, which are based upon the
State's delineation of water supply watershed boundaries. This Watershed Boundary
Location Survey was subsequently recorded with the Orange County Register of Deeds
on March 28, 2024 (PB127, PG87). As a matter of policy, the State advises delegated
programs such as Orange County to notify the elected body of the watershed boundary
change for formal recognition.
Orange County Planning staff informed the Orange County Board of Commissioners
(BOCC) of the watershed boundary change at their May 21, 2024 meeting. At that time,
the Board approved an amendment to the Back Creek Protected Watershed Overlay
District and Upper Eno Protected Watershed Overlay District boundary line and
authorized the Planning Director to initiate a Zoning Atlas Amendment to amend the
watershed overlay district boundary. The BOCC agenda packet can be found at this link:

Classification
Based on staff review and coordination with the NC Division of Energy, Mineral, and Land
Resources (NC DEMLR) Water Supply Watershed Protection Coordinator, the sealed
professional survey represents the most recent and accurate data and should be
recognized as the true ridgeline and watershed boundary on the parcels. Staff notified
Orange County Government I www.orangecountync.gov 1929-732.8181
6
NC DEMLR and the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission (EMC) of
the change. The change was reviewed and approved by the state on June 10, 2024.
Protected Watersheds within Orange County are part of the County's delegated
Stormwater Management Program, as reflected in the adopted Orange County
Watershed Boundary Map. These watersheds are also adopted Zoning Overlay Districts
in the Unified Development Ordinance. This Planning Director-initiated Zoning Atlas
Amendment will bring this overlay district into alignment with the State-recognized
watershed. No amendments are proposed to the base zoning district or Future Land Use
Map.

Zoning Atlas Amendment Overview III iiiiw
Orange County has initiated a Zoning Atlas Amendment to modify the Back Creek Protected
Watershed Overlay District and Upper Eno Protected Watershed Overlay District boundary line. State-
designated Critical and Protected watersheds located in Orange County are regulated as a Watershed
Protection Overlay Districts. Based on Article 4, Overlay Zoning Districts, the Watershed Protection
Overlay District applies to the Orange County portion of watershed which have been classified as WS-
II, WS-III, or WS-IV by the State of North Carolina. The Zoning Atlas Amendment will bring this overlay
district into alignment with the State-recognized watershed. No amendments are proposed to the base
zoning district or Future Land Use Map.
Additional background information regarding this request is contained in the Narrative (Attachment 1).
In acting on this request, the County is unable to impose conditions. Overlay district rezoning
applications are processed in a legislative manner (i.e., does not require sworn testimony or evidence)
and decisions are based on the Board of County Commissioners determination the request is
consistent with the purpose and intent of the Comprehensive Plan.

occur in a pattern, location, and density that is sustainable over the long-term.
4. Natural Area Resource Preservation: Protection of the County's natural areas, including
forests, wildlife habitat, and other important open spaces should be a priority. The County
should work with regional and local organizations, the towns, and private landowners to
promote and achieve preservation of the County's important natural resources.
5. Preservation of Rural Land Use Pattern: The County's rural areas are a cherished
component of the County's character. Future development should preserve and enhance the
county's rural landscape.
6. Water Resources Preservation: The County has finite water resources to provide to future
populations. The protection and management of the County's water resources should be a high
priority.
Chapter 5— Land Use Element, Section 5.6 Goals

features, and that protect natural resources, cultural resources, and community character.
c. Land Use Goal 3: 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.
d. Land Use Goal 6: A land use planning process that is transparent, fair, open, efficient, and
responsive.
e. Natural and Cultural Resources Overarching Goal: A sustainable balance and appreciation
of natural, cultural and agricultural resources.
Staff Comment
Professional survey work completed in March 2024 revealed a discrepancy with Orange County's
mapped watershed boundary lines, which are based upon the State's delineation of water supply
watershed boundaries. As a matter of policy, the State advises delegated programs such as Orange
County to notify the elected body of the watershed boundary change for formal recognition. Orange
County Planning staff informed the Orange County Board of Commissioners (BOCC) of the
watershed boundary change at their May 21, 2024 meeting. At that time, the Board approved an
amendment to the Back Creek Protected Watershed Overlay District and Upper Eno Protected
Watershed Overlay District boundary line and authorized the Planning Director to initiate a Zoning
Atlas Amendment.
Based on staff review and coordination with the NC Division of Energy, Mineral, and Land Resources
(NC DEMLR) Water Supply Watershed Protection Coordinator, the sealed professional survey
represents the most recent and accurate data and should be recognized as the true rid eline and
4
16
watershed boundary on the parcels. Staff has notified NC DEMLR and the North Carolina
Environmental Management Commission (EMC) of the change.
This Zoning Atlas Amendment request will bring this overlay district into alignment with the State-
recognized watershed. No amendments are proposed to the base zoning district or Future Land Use
Map.
The existing R-1 zoning is consistent with Appendix F, Relationships Between Land Use
Classifications and Zoning Districts of the Orange County Comprehensive Land Use Plan.
Any future development would be subject to regulation under the County's stormwater and water
supply watershed regulations. Staff has reviewed and determined no significant environmental
impact is expected from this request to amend the Watershed Protection overlay district.
The Orange County staff has noticed the public regarding this application, as required by Section
2.8.7 of the LIDO including mailings to neighboring property owners and posting of the property.
Additionally, staff have provided all application documents on the Active Development Projects
webpage.

hearing scheduled at 7:00 p.m., September 5, 2024, at the Whitted Meeting Facility (300 West
Tryon Street, Hillsborough, NC — see attached map). All interested persons are invited to

County Commissioners (BOCC) is the decision-making body regarding land use and zoning
matters. The Board may take one of the following four actions at their meeting, 1) Approval, 2)
Denial, 3) Approval, but with specified changes, or 4) that the Board be given extended time to
19

MEMORANDUM
TO: Patrick Mallett, Deputy Director, Development Services
FROM: Christopher Sandt, PE — County Engineer, Planning & Inspections; and
Steve Kaltenbach — Erosion Control and Stormwater Manager
DATE: July 18, 2024
CASE: MA24-0004 — Zoning Atlas Amendment
PIN: 9835-67-1605
WATERSHED: Upper Eno Protected (Neuse River Basin)
PROJECT: Faith Way Road
SUBJECT: Summary of Findings Regarding Conformance with Orange County
Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) for Erosion & Sedimentation
Control and Stormwater Management
This memo summarizes the Development Services Erosion Control and Stormwater
Management Division's (hereafter, the "Division's) assessment of the submitted
application for a Zoning Atlas Amendment (MA24-0004), submitted as the "Faith Way
Road" project (hereafter, the "project"). The project is located within 1.73 acres of
property at 711 Faith Way Road in the Cheeks township of Orange County, North
Carolina.
The request proposes a watershed overlay district boundary modification so as to
accommodate subsequent development consisting of:
■ garage construction
The staff comments contained herein are based upon a required Rezoning Application
and supporting information dated June 24, 2024. These findings should not be
interpreted as the Division's final analysis/approval of the proposed development. Upon
zoning approval, the proposed subsequent development would then be required to submit
a Land Disturbing Permit (LDP) which would formally review and approve development
activity consistent with the Rezoning Application.
Erosion & Sedimentation Control (E&SC):
According to current Orange County GIS imagery of the project parcel, there are no
mapped stream features or special flood hazard areas within the project parcel
boundaries. Orange County enforces stream buffers along streams, rivers, water bodies,
Page 1 of 2
Orange County Government I www.orangecountync.gov 1 919.732.8181
30
and other water features (e.g., wetlands) as outlined in Section 6.13 of the Orange County
UDO. Based on the submitted materials, the project could meet the basic Erosion and
Sedimentation Control requirements as required by Orange County UDO Section 6.15
and could be developed as generally proposed.
Stormwater Management:
There were no stormwater management related materials included in the Rezoning
Application. The submitted materials indicate a level of development that could meet
current UDO requirements specific to stormwater management. The project will need to
meet applicable stormwater management requirements as outlined in Section 6.14 of the
Orange County UDO and must be in general conformance with the North Carolina
Stormwater Design Manual (i.e., Minimum Design Criteria).
Conclusion:
The Division has No Objections to the approval of the Rezoning Application so long as a
complete LDP application and supporting plans and calculations are submitted for review,
processing, and approval prior to commencement of any on-site Land-Disturbing Activity.
As the project progresses, additional field observations, additional permitting by others,
and/or additional Orange County review and permitting may apply beyond the proposed
development as shown with the Rezoning Application.

28 Patrick Mallett: Because of the similarities, I'm going to skip over some of the steps here.
29 Adam Beeman: I just have one person from the public that signed up, so when we get to that point.
30 Jessica King: I'll wait and listen to what you have to say.
31 Patrick Mallett: Okay, property owner?
32 Jessica King: Yes.
33 Patrick Mallett: You can correct me if I get your story wrong. This property is located on 711 Faith Way,
34 it's the Cheeks Township, it's an amendment between the Back Creek Protected and
35 Upper Eno Protected watersheds. Baseline zoning is R1 and would remain R1, the area
36 in blue is the existing overlay boundary, the area in red depicts the new boundary change
37 and with the other case it takes it to the property line then ties it back into the current
38 mapped overlay. Land use designation rural residential, this is a good point to
39 communicate what brought the property owner to here. She was essentially maxed out
40 with her impervious as it was prorated for her property for her driveway and her house.
41 Her desire was to build a modest garage and then there was the realization, well the ridge
42 line is not here, it's over here, and that change alone would allow for enough impervious
43 surface to do a small garage. Because of the way the legalities of this work, she too,just
44 like the previous case, we're already gone through that state process, the notification of
45 the board of commissioners, they've accepted it, we have since approved because we
32
DRAFT
46 legally have to accept that for permitting purposes, the true ridge line. Her garage, we
47 have signed off on that permit. The mapping that was done is kind of hard to read but it
48 basically corresponds to the previous map. Staff analysis is the application was complete,
49 the staff review, the application is considered request consistent with the Orange County
50 2030 comprehensive plan. The proper notifications were made via mail, sign postings
51 and listed on our active development web page. With the planning board level,just like
52 the other case, would get referred on with a recommendation to the Board of County
53 Commissioners. The planning director recommends to the board to receive the rezoning
54 application delivered on their proposal as desired, consider the planning director's
55 recommendation, and make a recommendation to the BOCC on either the statement of
56 consistency, Attachment 6 or the statement inconsistency, Attachment 7, and the
57 proposed ordinance, Attachment 8 in time for the September 5th, 2024, BOCC meeting.
58 Adam Beeman: Anybody have any questions?
59 Chris Johnston: Does it matter that that line goes all the way down back to the originating line and so that
60 whole side there, does that matter in the slightest?
61 Patrick Mallett: It's the same circumstance.
62 Chris Johnston: I guess that's fair. It would be assumed that it would.
63 Patrick Mallett: The ridge line and the survey went beyond that slightly, but the reality is legally we can
64 amend it on her property, then we take it from there, but either property owner to the north
65 or south, if they felt like it benefited them and there was a need, it's a pretty compelling
66 reason to keep amending that to correspond with the ridge line.
67 Chris Johnston: I guess what I'm saying is this property owner wouldn't need to come back and then move
68 that red line back to the new line because it's along the property line, does that make
69 sense?
70 Patrick Mallett: Yeah, I understand what you're saying, there's no impact on the property owner. It's a
71 mathematical calculation and her impervious limits based on the watershed are based on
72 the amount of area on her property so, you're not going one way or another.
73 Chris Johnston: Okay. Then if the next property owner over gets a survey and finds it matches up to the
74 new line, they don't, the previous property owner doesn't need to come back and revert
75 back the line or anything along those lines, it would just continue on.
76 Patrick Mallett: It would theoretically just pick up where the other one left off.
77 Chris Johnston: Okay, thank you.
78 Adam Beeman: Any other questions? Do I have a motion?
79 Lamar Proctor: I move to adopt the proposed zoning change and adopt the statement of consistency in
80 Attachment 5 and the proposed ordinance and Attachment 6 as consistent with the
81 comprehensive plan and the UDO and recommend approval to the board of county
82 commissioners.
83 Adam Beeman: Do I have a second?
84 Marilyn Carter: Second.

Based on staff review and coordination with the NC Division of Energy, Mineral,
and Land Resources (NC DEMLR) Water Supply Watershed Protection
Coordinator, the sealed professional survey represents the most recent and
accurate data and should be recognized as the true ridgeline and watershed
boundary on the parcels. Staff has notified NC DEMLR and the North Carolina
Environmental Management Commission (EMC) of the change.
This Zoning Atlas Amendment request will bring the overlay districts into
alignment with the State-recognized watershed. No amendments are proposed to
the base zoning district and Future Land Use Map. Accordingly, the proposal is
consistent with goals/objectives outlined within the Comprehensive Plan

The County's rural areas are a cherished component of the County's character.
Future development should preserve and enhance the county's rural landscape.
Planning Principle 6, Water Resources Preservation

with availability of County services and facilities sufficient to meet the needs of
Orange County's population and economy consistent with other Comprehensive
Plan element goals and objectives.
