Planning Board — November <br /> Town Board Consideration — December 2012 <br /> Town of Hillsborough Draft Future Land Use Plan <br /> The Manaqer Recommends the Board: <br /> 1. Receive the update; and <br /> 2. Authorize the Chair to send the attached letter (Attachment 4) submitting preliminary <br /> comments to the Town of Hillsborough. <br /> Commissioner Jacobs said that there should be some green space as a buffer around <br /> the urban areas much like there is a rural buffer between Hillsborough and Chapel Hill and <br /> Carrboro. He made reference to the third bullet— preference for non-residential uses — and <br /> suggested adding, "in an economic development area." <br /> Commissioner Jacobs said that he thought the master plan for Waterstone had a hotel <br /> proposed there. He would hope to have this kind of plan with Mebane in the near future. <br /> A motion was made by Commissioner Hemminger, seconded by Commissioner Jacobs <br /> to update the letter with suggestions and map attachment and authorize the Chair to send the <br /> attached letter (Attachment 4) submitting input to the Town of Hillsborough regarding its draft <br /> Future Land Use Plan. <br /> The changes include: attach "area 5" to the next to the last bullet, add "in economic <br /> development districts" to the third bullet, and attach the map as suggested. <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> d.
