Amending the Joint Planning Land Use Plan text and map to reflect the existence and show the location of Transition Area I and II designations. The proposed Zoning Plan addresses item 2-b. Ms. Weeks used maps and slides in demonstrating and explaining the proposed zoning plan for the Transition Areas located within the Carrboro Joint Development Review Area (CJDA). Under the terms of the Joint Planning Agreement, Carrboro must zone Transition Area II at a density not to exceed one unit per acre until Transition Area I is developed to more urban densities. To be specific, seventy-five percent (75$) of Transition Area I has to be developed into either lots containing one acre or less, residential developments that are approved but not necessarily developed, at one dwelling unit per acre or greater density, commercial uses and also UNC lands that are not available for development. Carrboro's Joint Planning Area includes approximately 4.0 square miles of land lying within the Bolin Creek drainage basin and bounded on the west by OLD NC 86 and Dairyland and Union Grove Church Roads. Bolin Creek serves as the general boundary between Transition Areas I and II, with Transition Area I located directly north of the town's northern extraterritorial area limits, and Transition Area II generally north of Bolin Creek and south of Duke Forest. In addition to other provisions concerning annexation by the towns and representation from the Joint Planning Area on the towns' Planning Boards and Boards of Adjustment, the Agreement stipulates that each town must prepare a zoning scheme for its Joint Planning Area, to be adopted by the County along with the towns' development 'ordinances, following a joint public hearing to be held by all parties to the Agreement. She continued describing the zonings and indicating those areas on the map slides. (A copy of the zone descriptions and permitted uses is an attachment to these minutes on pages~laj ). The area to the north is the area in question which would be zoned Rural Residential if the Land Use Plan amendment is approved. The Orange County Planning Staff has reviewed the proposed Zoning Plan and found it consistent with the Joint Planning Area Land Use Plan. (Memo attachment to these minutes pages ~~5 ). At its March 3, 1988 meeting, the Carrboro Board of Aldermen approved a resolution which requested that the Board of Commissioners consider the proposed Zoning Plan for adoption in'the Carrboro Joint Development Review Area.
