Amendment to the Joint Planning Agreement _ Creation of Northern Transition Area <br />Advisory Committee <br />Planner Gene Bell presented for public comment a proposed amendment to the Joint <br />Planning Agreement. Orange County proposes an amendment to the Joint Planning Agreement to <br />authorize Transition Area Advisory Committees. The composition, duties and responsibilities of <br />such committees will be specified in the Carrboro Land Use Ordinance. This amendment will <br />implement a recommendation contained in the Facilitated Small Area Plan for Carrboro's Northern <br />Study Area. <br />Chair Gordon asked about the language that refers to Carrboro but does not make a similar <br />provision in case Chapel Hill wants to do the same thing. Gene Bell said that staff did not have time <br />to discuss that possibility with Chapel Hill. <br />A motion was made by Commissioner Carey, seconded by Commissioner Halkiotis to refer <br />this matter to the towns of Chapel Hill and Carrboro for decision and then to the Orange County <br />Planning Board for a recommendation to the Orange County Commissioners. <br />VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br />2.
