3 • adjustment of the Town's Extra Territorial Jurisdiction (abandonment of some existing ETJ by the Town and the County granting new ETJ), and • amendments to the County's Zoning Ordinance and Atlas, as well as Subdivision Regulations. Article 2 of the Agreement indicates the proposed process for these amendments, which are to be completed in a "timely manner." These future amendments to the Land Use Element (map and text), Zoning Ordinance, Zoning Atlas, and Subdivision Regulations will follow the normal processes for adopting changes to the respective document (i.e., advertising, notification, and joint public hearing). Similarities to Chanel Hill / Carrboro /Orange County Joint Planning Agreement This agreement has many similarities to the existing Joint Planning Agreement but pertains to a different area of the County. The concepts are similar -specifically, focused growth areas matched with planned public services and an anti-sprawl zone, with both local governments coordinating land use planning. Orange County and its municipalities continue to be the leaders in subregional planning agreements. FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is adequate existing Planning staff to complete the tasks enumerated in the Agreement within the Department work plan. Tasks are expected to occur within the next two fiscal years (2009-10 and 2010-11). There will be future costs for future legal advertisements and notifications when Land Use Plan (map and text), Zoning Ordinance (map and text), and Subdivision Regulations amendments are brought forward. RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends the Board: 1) Approve the Resolution ratifying the Interlocal Agreement and authorize the Chair to sign the Resolution and the Agreement contained in Attachment 3, and 2) Direct staff to move forward with implementation by completing the tasks listed in Article 2 of the Agreement.
