Zoning can be a dirty word among landowners and developers, but it plays an important role in planning for sustainable growth and giving everyone a chance to be heard on what gets built. Burlington, Mebane and other municipalities in Alamance County have zoning rules, but rural areas only require approval by a Technical Review Committee composed of county staff. That gives neighbors and the Alamance County Board of Commissioners little say about what gets built, whether it’s a factory next to homes or two major residential projects that could alter the rural landscape in southeastern Alamance County. The commissioners have asked the county’s planning board and staff to revisit a proposed Rural Preservation Ordinance that was rejected last year.
