A Public Hearing Regarding Consideration of a Moratorium of Development <br />Applications near Intersections of I-851NC 86 and 1,401O1d NC 86 <br />Craig Benedict gave an explanation of the two areas to be affected in the Economic <br />Development District. He made reference to the maps that were on display. The area includes <br />approximately 1,055 acres. The purpose of the six-month moratorium is to put a hold on <br />development applications within these areas while a work group completes the research necessary <br />to address certain guidelines of the Economic Development Districts. The work group has been <br />working on this for four months. One of the primary issues is the entranceway into Hillsborough <br />and the economic development opportunities that are there, both on Old 86 and I-40 and New $6 <br />and I-85. The moratoria will allow time to develop standards with input from both the private and <br />public nectar so that any new development in the area would adhere to a consistent group of <br />standards. <br />Concerns to be addressed by the work group: <br />1. Transportation Plan <br />2. Master Planning <br />3. Open Space <br />4. Land Use Compatibility/Buffers <br />5. Development Pattern <br />6. Subdivision Rules <br />7. Major Transportation Corridor <br />8. AesthetlC 155ue5 <br />9. Water and Sewer <br />10. Synergy with Downtown Hillsborough <br />11. Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design <br />12.
